Abstract

Magnetization of selected nonmare areas, principally on the moon's far side, is inferred from positive disturbances in the magnitude of the magnetic field exterior to the magnetic signature of the lunar cavity observed in magnetometer data from the lunar orbiter Explorer 35. A less favored model for the field perturbations involves variations in the thickness of the low-conductivity crustal layer of the moon.

摘要

从月球轨道飞行器“探索者 35”的磁力计数据中观察到的月球腔磁特征以外的磁场中，主要在月球背面的选定非月海区域的磁化强度推断为磁场幅度的正干扰。场扰动的一个不太受欢迎的模型涉及到月球低电导率地壳层厚度的变化。
