- description
- This collection 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.

provided by the NASA High-End Computing (HEC) program through the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division at Ames Research Center and
NCCS at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
