A magnetic dynamo in the moon?

Abstract:The existence of fossil lunar magnetism has caused speculation that the Moon had, at one time, an internally produced dynamo magnetic field. Quantitative analysis of this idea, constrained by the largest iron lunar core compatible with observations, implies that the Moon would have had to rotate faster than its breakup angular velocity in order to support a dynamo magnetic field.A paper presented at the Lunar Science Institute Conference on lsquoGeophysical and Geochemical Exploration of the Moon and Planetsrsquo, January 10–12, 1973.
