Mercury's magnetic field is approximately a magnetic dipole, apparently global, [8] on the planet of Mercury. [9] Data from Mariner 10 led to its discovery in 1974; the spacecraft measured the field's strength as 1.1% that of Earth's magnetic field. [10]
7 maj 2015 · From orbital vector magnetic field measurements of Mercury taken by the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft at altitudes below 150 kilometers, we have detected remanent magnetization in Mercury’s crust.
1 cze 2015 · Three orbits of MESSENGER at different altitudes show small magnetic field signals from rocks magnetized early in Mercury's history. The signals are strongest at the lowest altitude.
14 gru 2012 · The model provides an excellent first-order fit to the MESSENGER observations, with a root-mean-square misfit of less than 20 nT globally. The results show that the magnetopause field strength ranges from 10% to 50% of the dipole field strength at observation locations on the dayside and at nightside latitudes north of 60°N.
The first in situ observations of Mercury and its space environment made four decades ago by the Mariner 10 spacecraft revealed a magnetic field that is sufficiently strong to stand off the solar wind and form a magnetosphere.
14 sty 2019 · We show that the present models produce magnetic fields similar in morphology and strength to that of Mercury. The dynamo-generated fields act on the flow to force interaction between...
30 wrz 2011 · We consider the magnetic field (B) in cylindrical Mercury solar orbital (MSO) coordinates (ρ, ϕ, Z) MSO, where Z MSO is positive northward, ϕ MSO is zero at the subsolar point and increases toward dusk, and ρ MSO is positive outward parallel to the equatorial plane.
