MESSENGER observations of suprathermal electrons in Mercury's magnetosphere

The X‐Ray Spectrometer (XRS) on the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging spacecraft regularly detected fluorescent X‐rays near Mercury induced by low‐energy (1–10 keV) or suprathermal electrons. We devised an algorithm to select these events from XRS records between April 20...
