Abstract:
Solar photon scattering probabilities (g values) have been calculated
for discrete transitions in 12 species, in a format designed primarily
to allow analysis of spacecraft observations from MESSENGER and
BepiColombo at Mercury. The results support observations using the
MESSENGER Ultraviolet and Visible Spectrometer spectrograph experiment
operating over the spectral range 1150-6000Å and the BepiColombo
spectrograph in the range 550-3150Å. Significant radial velocity
dependence is shown for most of the emission lines, a critical factor
for interpretation of the observed spectra. The g values have general
application for solar system emission sources dominated by scattering
of the solar flux.
