• Processes that Promote and Deplete the Exosphere of Mercury (2007, methodology): “For the lunar surface total sputter yields are about 0.07 surface atoms per impinging ion for the typical H/He mix of solar wind ions (Wurz et al. 2007).”
• Mercury’s Weather-Beaten Surface: Understanding Mercury in the Context of Lunar and Asteroidal Space Weathering Studies (2014, background): “Several studies (Killen et al. 2007; Wurz et al. 2007, 2010) compared exospheric compositions expected from physical sputtering, photon-stimulated desorption, and impact vaporization with measured density and spatial distributions within the exosphere.”
