Project results evaluation
Within the project ME09009 we have provided a set of numerical simulations of Mercury´s interaction with solar wind according to first MESSENGER close fly-by´s. Simulation data sets were applied to completely describe the magnetosphere´s global structureand further used for better interpretation of real MESSENGER data. Achieved results were published in 12 reviewed scientific publications.
