TY - DATA T1 - Data supplementary to the publication: The internal structure of Mercury's core inferred from magnetic observations PY - 2021/06/09 AU - Ingo Wardinski AU - Hagay Amit AU - Benoit Langlais AU - Erwan Thebault UR - https://data.4tu.nl/articles/dataset/Data_supplementary_to_the_publication_The_internal_structure_of_Mercury_s_core_inferred_from_magnetic_observations/14748345/1 DO - 10.4121/14748345.v1 KW - Mercury's magnetic field KW - MESSENGER mission KW - Mercury's internal structure N2 - These are the keypoints of a related JGR Planet publication:1) We model Mercury's internal magnetic field from MESSENGER data with spherical harmonics.2) Our core field model contains non-axisymmetric features from which we make inferences of Mercury's internal structure.
3) We estimate Mercury's inner core radius of ~500-660 km and a corresponding thickness of a top stratified layer of about 880-500 km.
