Lunar Magnetic Field: Permanent and Induced Dipole Moments | C T Russell

29 Nov 1974 | Journal: | Science, 186 (4166), 825-826 | Abstract: | Apollo 15 subsatellite magnetic field observations have been used to measure both the permanent and the induced lunar dipole moments. Although only an upper limit of 1.3 x 10(18) gauss-cubic centimeters has been determined for the permanent dipole moment in the orbital plane, there is a significant induced dipole moment which opposes the applied field, indicating the existence of a weak lunar ionosphere. | Source: | PubMed, pmid17838598 doi: 10.1126/science.186.4166.825 | Services: | Forum | Review | Favorites |
