Properties of the moon and its environment from lunar magnetometer measurements
Abstract
Lunar analysis of data from a total of nine lunar magnetometers is described. Results obtained concerning electromagnetic, compositional, and structural properties of the lunar interior are discussed. Specific topics covered include: lunar magnetic permeability and iron abundance; limits on a highly conducting lunar core; lunar electrical conductivity; and internal structure inferred from conductivity and permeability results.
