F.; El Alaoui, M.; Travnicek, P. 2022 10.17189/krn5-0r32 Simulation particle-in-cell simulation (PIC) magnetosphere Mercury This bundle contains the results from the simulation study presented in Lapenta, G.; Schriver, D.; Walker, R. J.; Berchem, J.; Echterling, N. F.; El Alaoui, M.; Travnicek, P., Do we need to consider electrons' kinetic effects to properly model a planetary magnetosphere: the case of Mercury, Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 127, e2021JA030241. https://doi.org/10.1029/2021JA030241 The data includes fully kinetic global PIC simulations of Mercury's magnetosphere that include both ion and electron kinetic effects along with MESSENGER data. The energy conserving version of the ipic3D simulation code (ECSIM) (Lapenta, 2017 doi:10.1016/j.jcp.2017.01.002) was used to study the evolution of Mercury's magnetosphere. This work was funded by NASA grants HSR 80NSSC19K0841 and HSR 80NSSC19K0846 and NASA SSW 80NSSC19K0789 and 80NSSC21K0053.
