History of the solar nebula from meteorite paleomagnetism

BP Weiss, XN Bai, RR Fu - Science Advances, 2021 - science.org
We review recent advances in our understanding of magnetism in the solar nebula and
protoplanetary disks (PPDs). We discuss the implications of theory, meteorite …

Flows driven by libration, precession, and tides

M Le Bars, D Cébron, P Le Gal - Annual Review of Fluid …, 2015 - annualreviews.org

The lunar dynamo

BP Weiss, SM Tikoo - Science, 2014 - science.org
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether the Moon has a fully differentiated and melted
structure with a metallic core or retains a partially primordial, unmelted interior. The …

Surface vector mapping of magnetic anomalies over the Moon using Kaguya and Lunar Prospector observations

H Tsunakawa, F Takahashi, H Shimizu… - Journal of …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We have provided preliminary global maps of three components of the lunar magnetic
anomaly on the surface applying the surface vector mapping (SVM) method. The data used …

Long‐term Earth‐Moon evolution with high‐level orbit and ocean tide models

H Daher, BK Arbic, JG Williams… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Tides and Earth‐Moon system evolution are coupled over geological time. Tidal

A long-lived lunar dynamo driven by continuous mechanical stirring

CA Dwyer, DJ Stevenson, F Nimmo - Nature, 2011 - nature.com
Lunar rocks contain a record of an ancient magnetic field that seems to have persisted for
more than 400 million years, and which has been attributed to a lunar dynamo,. Models of …

Absence of a long-lived lunar paleomagnetosphere

JA Tarduno, RD Cottrell, K Lawrence, RK Bono… - Science …, 2021 - science.org
Determining the presence or absence of a past long-lived lunar magnetic field is crucial for
understanding how the Moon's interior and surface evolved. Here, we show that Apollo …
