Abstract:
The dayside magnetosphere of Mercury is observed to disappear at MESSENGER's orbit during some coronal mass ejection impacts The cause appears to be extreme solar wind compression and/or reconnection‐driven erosion of Mercury's dayside magnetic field The low altitude of the bow shock during these events strongly suggests that Mercury's dayside surface experiences direct solar wind impact
