3D view of the simulation result corresponding to the 2011/09/08 MESSENGER orbit. The Hermean magnetic field (red lines), SW stream lines (green lines) and Mercury north pole magnetic field lines are connected with the magnetosheath (pink lines). We also show the magnetopause (cyan isocontour showing B/BIMF < 1.5) and the slow-mode expansion fan (gray isocontour showing p/pIMF > 2.5).
