Magnetic anomalies near Apollinaris Patera and the Medusae Fossae Formation in Lucus Planum, Mars
The nature of strong martian crustal field sources is investigated by mapping and modeling of Mars Global Surveyor magnetometer data near Apollinaris Patera, a previously proposed volcanic source, supplemented by large-scale correlative studies. Regional mapping yields evidence for positive correlations of orbital anomalies with both Apollinaris Patera and Lucus Planum, a nearby probable extrus...
متن کاملBracketing the End of the Martian Dynamo: the Ages and Magnetic Signatures of Hellas and Ladon Basins
The Ladon basin is the only basin on Mars which shows the clear effects of impact demagnetization (like the giant basins Hellas, Argyre, Utopia and Isidis) but which also contains a significant central magnetic anomaly, as determined by electron reflection (ER) magnetometry. This suggests thermoremanent magnetization of the cooling central melt pool in the presence of a dynamo-driven magnetic f...
متن کاملRapid decrease in Martian crustal magnetization in the Noachian era: Implications for the dynamo and climate of early Mars
[1] The magnetic signatures and crater retention ages of the 19 largest (>1000 km diameter) impact basins on Mars are examined to constrain the history of the acquisition of crustal magnetization during the Noachian era. The 5 most clearly impact-demagnetized basins are younger than the 14 basins within which lies substantially re-magnetized crust. Poisson analysis shows that the most likely ti...
متن کاملUnusual magnetic signature of the Hadriaca Patera Volcano: Implications for early Mars
[1] Typically, Martian volcanoes show either a total absence of crustal magnetism or a local magnetic mimimum. Hadriaca Patera is the only volcano on Mars with a clear positive magnetic anomaly directly over the volcanic edifice, as determined by electron reflection magnetometry. Hadriaca’s topography, lava flow crater ages, gravity anomaly, position relative to the Hellas rim and past aqueous ...
متن کاملA Source for the Martian Crustal Magnetic Field
The magnitude of the martian magnetic crustal field requires intensities of magnetization of large volumes of the martian crust to be stronger than any comparable volumes on Earth [1, 2]. The Martian magnetic field at 4.0 Gyr was about one order smaller than the present geomagnetic field [3-5], and because the generating volume for the martian dynamo is considerably smaller than that for the ge...
