چکیده انگلیسی
In the present paper, by using high resolution Na observations obtained at the Canary Islands with the THEMIS solar telescope, we analyze the variability of the sodium exosphere on time-scale of 1Â h and investigate the possible mechanisms that could explain the exospheric sodium emission distribution and its dynamics. A new procedure of analysis is applied to make the data fully comparable among each other and allow a proper analysis of the evolution of the observed peak. Our interpretation relates the observed North/South sodium asymmetries to the combined effects of plasma and photons impacts onto the Mercury's surface and of sodium diffusion through the upper layer of the surface. Simulations of the exosphere generation and of the possible coupling between IMF and planetary magnetosphere suggest that observations could be interpreted as the effects of a combination of both the magnetic reconnection regimes of pulsed and quasi-steady reconnection. In addition to this, a progressive broadening of the peak regions together with an increase of the equatorial region seem to corroborate the role of photon stimulated desorption, in association with the ion sputtering and with subsequent global sodium migration around Mercury, as the causes of the observed Na peak regions evolution.
