Mercury particle precipitation using full-PIC global simulations

Datasets and scripts concerning particle precipitation on the surface of Mercury derived from two implicit full-PIC simulations. We use the code iPIC3D to simulate the interaction between the solar-wind and the planet's magnetic environment. In this file we include (i) the 3D magnetic field data at steadystate, (ii) the particle precipitating on the planets at different times and (iii) the cross-sections of electron induced X-ray fluorescence emission between precipitating electrons and surface ions. Further details on the simulations can be found in: arXiv:2209.08517 To clarify the usage of such different datasets, we include two modules to process the data in python (directory <em>src</em>) and few tests showing the capabilities of these modules (directory <em>test</em>). Images created from such tests can be found in the directory <em>images</em>.
