magnetic field/ A9630 Planets and satellitesThe predictions of a model of the magnetic field of rotating bodies are compared with the results of observations of the magnetic fields of the planets. Further observations of the Mars and the lumar magnetic fields are suggested.doi:10.1007/BF02557752M. SurdinKluwer Academic PublishersIL Nuovo Cimento C
An interplanetary magnetic field refers to the magnetic field that exists in the space between planets within a solar system. It is measured in units of nanoteslas (nT) and can vary in both amplitude and direction depending on the position and time. Satellites such as Ulysses have been used...
1 Planetary Magnetic Field Observations The Earth's magnetic field has been used for navigation since at least the eleventh century AD, but it was not until the seventeenth century that the source of this magnetic field was attributed to the Earth's interior. Namely, in 1600, William Gilbert ...
For nonmagnetized planets, mass loading of the ionospheric particles is very important. The new created ions are accelerated by the electric field related to the IMF, and thus they gain energy from the solar wind plasma. These ions form the boundary layer within the magnetic barrier. This mass...
currently found on Ellesmere Island in Northern Canada. When a magnetic compass points north it is aligning itself with Earth's magnetic field and points to the Magnetic North Pole, not the Geographic North Pole, which is actually about 310 miles (500 kilometers) away according to GIS ...
Paleomagnetic research has provided scientists with the knowledge that Earth's magnetic field has shifted and even reversed in polarity many times in the geological past. But why? Related:Earth's magnetic field: Explained What causes the magnetic poles to flip?
The fluxgate magnetometer for the Arase (ERG) spacecraft mission was built to investigate particle acceleration processes in the inner magnetosphere. Precise measurements of the field intensity and direction are essential in studying the motion of particles, the properties of waves interacting with the ...
Earth’s magnetic field is generated by fluid motions in the outer core. This geodynamo has operated for over 3.4 billion years. However, the mechanism that has sustained the geodynamo for over 75% of Earth’s history remains debated. In this Review, we assess the mechanisms proposed to...
The nighttime events are among initial results from the InSight lander, which also found hints that the red planet may host a global reservoir of liquid water deep below the surface.
The interstellar magnetic field refers to the magnetic field present in the space between stars in a galaxy, with a typical strength of around 5-6 μ G and a direction along the spiral arms. AI generated definition based on: COSPAR Colloquia Series, 2001 ...
