Bowers_Asymmetric_Alfven_Wing_Mercury_BATSRUS_Slices

Steady-state BATSRUS simulation results for Mercury's magnetosphere as presented in Bowers et al., 2025: MESSENGER Observations of Mercury's Altered Magnetosphere during a sub-Alfvénic ICME event: Evidence for Asymmetric Alfvén Wings. The .zip file contains .dat slices of two BATSRUS simulations, one under sub-Alfvénic conditions and the other under super-Alfvénic conditions. Each folder contains 4 files: XZ slice through the simulation (Y_MSM' = 0) YZ slice through the simulation (X_MSM' = -2 R_M) Oblique slice (slice normal = [0,0.3295, 0.94]) Simulated spacecraft trajectory though the slice
