A Correction on
Ion cyclotron waves: a tool for characterizing neutral particle profiles in extended exospheres

by Lammer H, Schmid D, Volwerk M, Weichbold F, Wedlund  CS, Varsani A and Delva M (2025). Front. Astron. Space Sci. 11:1499346. doi: 10.3389/fspas.2024.1499346

There was a mistake in Figure 8 as published. There is a typographical error in one of the event label. The date “01 Jan 2013” should read “13 Jan 2014”. The corrected Figure 8 appears below.

Figure 8
Graph depicting lithium number density against distance to Mercury's surface. Dates and corresponding data points include November 30, 2012, July 24, 2014, March 5, 2012, May 1, 2013, and others between 1220 and 17080 km. Radial distance from Mercury's center is also provided. Data is derived from ICW observation.

Figure 8. Average Li densities as a function of height (black dots, including error bars) related to the detected meteoritic impact events in Mercury’s exosphere between April 2011 and July 2014. Adopted from Schmid et al., (2025).
