Plasma Waves in the Hermean Magnetosphere

The Hermean magnetosphere is likely to copntain a number of wave phenomena. We briefly review what little is known so far about fields and waves around Mercury. We further discuss a number of possible phenomena, including ULF pulsations, accelerated radiation, bow shock waves, bremsstrahlung (or braking radiation), and synchrotron raidation. Finally, some predictions are made as to the likelihood that some of these types of wave emissions exist.
