A novel theoretical approach to predict the interannual variability of sulfur in Mercury’s exosphere and subsurface

The surfaces of airless bodies are constantly weathered by ions, meteoroids, and radiation, leading to the ejection of surface atoms to form a tenuous, collisionless atmosphere around the body. In the case of Mercury, its high surface temperatures can also lead to thermal desorption (TD) of atoms. S...
