Abstract

Modelling of the thermal and magnetic evolution of Neptune’s moon Triton indicates that it might possess an as-yet-undetected magnetic field, generated by a dynamo in its metallic core. If this field does indeed exist, it could complicate efforts to search for a sub-surface ocean on Triton using magnetic induction.

海王星卫星海卫一的潜在固有磁场

海王星的卫星海卫一的热和磁演化模型表明，它可能拥有一个尚未被探测到的磁场，由其金属核心的发电机产生。如果这个磁场确实存在，它可能会使利用磁感应在海卫一上寻找地下海洋的努力复杂化。
