Abstract
⺠We model the sodium exosphere of Mercury with a new numerical model. ⺠Model is time evolving and it includes a rotating surface. ⺠We follow the time evolution of sodium and evaluate the typical time-scales. ⺠Short-term time scales, from hours to half day, depend on the true anomaly angle. ⺠Jeans escape probability for sodium is estimated at various true anomaly angles.
