Ganymede_magnetic_field.svg

Description

The image depicts magnetic field of the Jovian satellite Ganymede embedded into the magnetosphere of Jupiter. The image is based on the reported Galileo measurements. [1] [2] The green color denotes closed field lines. The model used for this work is a superposition of the background Jovian field (120 nT) and the intrinsic field (720 nT at the equator). The angle between the background field and the moment is 45°.
