They were measured using a Molspin fluxgate magnetometer and subjected to partial thermal demagnetization using a Magnetic Measurements microprocessor-controlled demagnetizer. |
The team hopes the magnetometer will identify the wreck site by detecting the iron used in the hulls and steam engines of the sunken ships. |
Researchers analysed data obtained by the Galileo space probe on January 3, when Europa's magnetic field was measured by a magnetometer. |
Even Luna 1 carried a magnetometer and found that the Moon produces no significant magnetic field, quite unlike Earth. |
Students will build and operate a simple magnetometer using a soda bottle and a bar magnet. |
The magnetometer picks up any changes in the magnetic field created by disturbances in the soil, such as a trench filled in with soil. |
