Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper investigates the thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) of the Martian lithosphere assuming that the upper part of the lithosphere acquired TRM in the early history of the planet and in the presence of the core field (the primary magnetization), whereas the lower part has been gradually magnetized by the magnetic field of the upper part as it has cooled below the Curie temperature (secondary magnetization). The secondary magnetization is relatively weak if the magnetic properties of the lower lithosphere are taken to be similar to that of the extrusive basalt near the oceanic ridge axes on Earth. However, if the Martian lower lithosphere is more magnetic, e.g., by an order of magnitude, the secondary magnetization can be significant, although still weaker than the primary magnetization of the upper part. Such a highly magnetic lower lithosphere does not seem plausible by terrestrial standards, and it remains to be confirmed whether it is geologically plausible for Mars. I also examine a lithospheric model with a strongly magnetic layer beneath the crust, 25 times more magnetic than the extrusive basalt, representing a possible ilmenite‐rich layer with a considerable amount of hematite‐ilmenite lamellae. I assume that the layer was not magnetized by the core field because it was hotter than the Curie temperature of the lamellae when the core dynamo was active. It acquired secondary magnetization later in the presence of the magnetic field of the crust. Despite adopting an extraordinarily high magnetic layer which seems implausible by terrestrial standards, the secondary magnetization of the layer has minor contributions to the observed magnetic anomalies. In all models considered the primary magnetization is ∼20–30 A/m and has the dominant contribution to the observed magnetic anomalies. It is worth noting that the radial components of the primary and secondary magnetization are parallel, whereas the tangential components are in opposite directions. Because the strong magnetic anomalies in the south likely arise from the tangential magnetization, considering the secondary magnetization requires even stronger primary magnetization.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
