On the apparent diamagnetism of the lunar environment in the geomagnetic tail lobes

摘要: The reported investigation presents the magnetic observations averaged in a format that facilitates comparison with models of plasma diamagnetic effects. These demonstrate decreased energy density lunar vicinity always causes an induced dipole increases external field. Hence, increased environs is required to account for observed decrease. There are several different populations high-latitude geomagnetic tail lobes, including ions resulting from photoionization atmosphere neutrals, possible fluxes polar-wind protons, low-energy particle events which consist antisolar directed 100-eV photoelectrons dayside surface, and high-energy thermal population.
