An altitude‐normalized magnetic map of Mars and its interpretation
Abstract
Techniques developed for the reduction and analysis of terrestrial satellite magnetic field data are used to better understand the magnetic field observations made by Mars Global Surveyor. A global distribution of radial (B r) magnetic field observations and associated uncertainties is inverted for an equivalent source magnetization distribution and then used to generate an altitude‐normalized map of B r at 200 km. The observations are well‐represented by a potential function of crustal origin, consistent with a remanent origin for the Martian magnetic features. The correlation between the 40546 B r observations and B r calculated from the magnetization solution at observation locations is 0.978. For a magnetization distribution confined to a 50 km layer, calculated magnetizations range from ‐22 to +17 A/m. We see correlations with tectonics that were only hinted at in earlier maps. Magnetic features appear to be truncated against Valles Marineris and Ganges Chasma, suggestive of a major change in crustal properties associated with faulting.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
