Values of magnetopause and bow shock’s stand-off distances on magnetic equator from simulations.

	Aphelion SSW	Aphelion FSW	Perihelion SSW	Perihelion FSW
d_MP [R_M]	1.39	1.07	1.16	1.00
d_BS[R_M]	2.02	1.47	1.86	1.32
MS thickness [R_M]	0.63	0.4	0.7	0.32
MS thickness [km]	1537	976	1708	781

Notes. Bow-shock stand-off distance, d_BS, and magnetopause stand-off distance, d_MP, expressed in Mercury’s radii R_M. Additionally, this table provides the value of the magnetosheath thickness in the subsolar region in Mercury’s radii and kilometres.
