MESSENGER Mission Overview (2007, background): “…(each 58.65 Earth days) under a range of solar distances and conditions, which should permit separation of internal and external fields sufficient to resolve Mercury’s quadrupole magnetic moment (Korth et al. 2004) and shorter-wavelength features near periapsis latitudes (Anderson et al. 2007).”
The Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer for the MESSENGER Mission (2007, methodology): “Correlating UVVS data with Energetic Particle and Plasma Spectrometer (EPPS) (Andrews et al. 2007) and Magnetometer (Anderson et al. 2007) data will provide an additional tool for understanding exospheric processes.”
MESSENGER Observations of Mercury's Magnetic Field Structure (2012, background): “…to the midnight meridian provide information on the thickness and position of the current sheet in the deep-tail region (e.g., Figure 2), whereas orbits that enter the magnetosphere on the dayside close to noon local time sample the near-tail region during the descending portion of the transit.”
The Magnetic Field of Mercury (2010, background): “…and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft (Solomon et al. 2001, 2007) on 14 January and 6 October 2008 have yielded new magnetic field observations (Anderson et al. 2007, 2008b; Slavin et al. 2008, 2009a, 2009b) and the first plasma ion observations within the planet’s magnetosphere (Zurbuchen et…”
Mercury's magnetopause and bow shock from MESSENGER Magnetometer observations (2013, methodology): “[11] The IMF magnitude assigned to each crossing was evaluated as a 1 h average of MAG data upstream of the outermost bow shock encounter.”
Low‐degree structure in Mercury's planetary magnetic field (2012, methodology): “Data in this study are from the MESSENGER Magnetometer [Anderson et al., 2007] from 23 March 2011, shortly after orbit insertion, through 2 March 2012.”
