摘要: Two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the solar wind interaction with magnetized regions on surface Moon suggest “mini-magnetospheres” can form around when magnetic anomaly field strength is above 10 nT at 100 km (for a 290 nT) and ion density below 40 cm−3, typical observations placing anomalous strengths 2 surface. The results that not only bow shock magnetopause small anomalies, but their position shape change dramatically changes in conditions. A switch from southward to northward interplanetary (IMF) causes size mini-magnetosphere increase by 90% various positions inside factor 10. In addition affecting stand-off distance, IMF also cause go very round flat elongated. scale mini-magnetospheres for range conditions measured Lunar Prospector. stagnation point region exists several
