Scientific paper

The data of the near-Mars measurements of the two magnetometers FGMM and MAGMA onboard the Phobos-2 spacecraft are interpreted in favor of the existence of a weak Martian magnetic field. This conclusion is based mainly on a period analysis, leading to evidence for 12 hours and 24 hours periods in the magnetic data. Compatibility of this result with other data and interpretations is discussed.
