A Time-Energy spectrogram of PAS proton energy differential flux [cm−2 s−1 eV/eV], (B) proton density, (C) proton speed, (D) magnetic field components in the VSO coordinate system. (E) Location of the Solar Orbiter (blue, one symbol per hour) and BepiColombo (orange, one symbol per hour) in the x–y plane of the VSO coordinate system (see Fig. 1 caption), during the Venus flyby of BepiColombo on August 10, 2021. The directions of the orbits are indicated by the arrows. The average bow shock is indicated by the dashed black line20. The colors on the top of the figure separates the plasma regions identified from the BepiColombo measurements.
