AIKEF energy spectra catalog for BepiColombo: Proton and sodium ion energy profiles along Mercury flyby trajectories and science orbits
收藏资源简介:
This dataset contains a numerical simulation catalog produced with the Adaptive Ion–Kinetic Electron–Fluid (AIKEF) model, representing Mercury’s magnetosphere under 12 distinct upstream solar-wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) scenarios. For each steady-state run, the catalog provides extracted model outputs along relevant BepiColombo MPO and Mio trajectories for both Mercury flyby configurations and nominal science-orbit phases, including differential ion energy fluxes of solar-wind protons and exospheric sodium ions (omnidirectional and field-of-view) as well as magnetic-field data. The dataset is intended to support predictive modeling and direct comparison with in situ observations; scientific interpretation is given in Teubenbacher (2025, PhD thesis: https://permalink.obvsg.at/UGR/AC17622430). A README document is included and describes the dataset structure and contains the essential instructions and scripts needed to reproduce the plots from the archived data.
