Ion-kinetic modeling of Mercury’s magnetosphere: a reference for BepiColombo’s sixth flyby

Abstract The BepiColombo mission offers a unique opportunity to investigate Mercury’s magnetosphere and its interaction with the solar wind. This study presents a model-based reference for ion and magnetic field observations during the sixth Mercury flyby (MSB6) on January 8, 2025, using the global...
