| 英文摘要 | Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the smallest terrestrial planet. It has a unique space environment. Mariner 10 found and confirmed that Mercury possesses a global intrinsic dipole magnetic field and a magnetosphere. Yet, due to limited observations early on, people treated Mercury's magnetosphere as a scaled-down version of Earth's. Instead, after MESSENGER's visit to Mercury, the significant discrepancy between Mercury's magnetosphere and Earth's became increasingly apparent. With in-depth analysis of MESSENGER's observation data, a crescent-shaped plasma belt was found on the nightside magnetic equator nearby the planet inside Mercury's inner magnetosphere. This belt could be closely related to the magnetospheric current systems such as bifurcated ring current; substorm current wedge; and eastward current. At the point when BepiColombo is opening a new era in studying Mercury, this paper is going to review the recent studies about the plasma belt and the associated current systems based on the measurements of MESSENGER. It will also point out that those issues about the plasma belt will be the hot frontiers of the future researches of Mercury's space environment. And the issues associated with current systems will shape future explorations in this area. |
