Scientific paper

An investigation is conducted of the detectability of a lunar core in the presence of a realistic magnetic field and plasma disturbances in the geomagnetic tail, at distances comparable to the lunar orbit radius of 60 Earth radii. The magnetometer and plasma data employed are from ISEE-3, for the period from October 1982 to April 1983. A single orbiting magnetometer is projected to render the core detectable if it is larger than 400 km in radius.
