Abstract
A new technique for reconstructing the magnetic image of Mercury from satellite observation data is proposed. The technique is based on extracting from the general observational data only the part that is associated with magnetic field sources concentrated in Mercury’s crust. The extracted data are used to solve the inverse problem of reconstructing the near-surface magnetic image of Mercury. The results of processing real experimental data obtained via the MESSENGER interplanetary mission are presented.Keywords
