A transient enhancement of Mercury’s exosphere at extremely high altitudes inferred from pickup ions

Mercury has a global dayside exosphere that is very tenuous and does not extend far from the planet. Here, the authors show enhancement of neutral densities at high altitudes inferred from pickup ions that is most likely caused by the impact of a meteroid.
