Scientific paper
The authors have found that the major regions of strong surface magnetic fields detected by planetary electron reflection magnetometry measurements of the Apollo 15 and 16 subsatellites are located near the antipodes of four young large ringed impact basins: Orientale, Imbrium, Serenitatis, and Crisium. The strong surface magnetic fields near the basin antipodes may have resulted from concentration of a preexisting ambient magnetic field at the antipode by the partially ionized vapor cloud produced in hypervelocity basin-forming impacts and acquisition of shock remanent magnetization from the impact of secondary ejecta.
