Mercury Publications
In an initiative to keep the community aware of Mercury-related research, MExAG posts updated bibliographies to its website each quarter. While we do our best to include all recent publications, we may unintentionally miss new work. Please help keep MExAG informed of recent Mercury-related publications by sharing your work with mexag.sc@gmail.com.
