Abstract

Мы используем параболоидную модель магнитосферы Меркурия и данные магнитометра KA MESSENGER, полученные в апреле 2011 г. для определения оптимальных параметров токовых систем магнитосферы Меркурия, в том смысле, что они дают наименьшую невязку (меньше 10 нТл) между предсказаниями модели и измерениями. Полученные модельные данные сравниваются с экспериментальными данными и моделью магнитосферного магнитного поля Меркурия KT17.
