Measurements by the Magnetometer/Electron Reflectometer instrument on the Lunar Prospector spacecraft, which completed its mapping mission in 1999, have been used to construct the first completely global maps of lunar crustal magnetic fields. Now, for the first time, we have a data set with global coverage and a sensitivity and resolution which allow us to investigate the magnetic fields of lunar impact basins and craters. As on the Earth, impact sites have a variety of magnetic signatures associated with them, ranging from nearly complete demagnetization to strong central magnetic anomalies. Observations of the magnetic fields of terrestrial basins have been used to make inferences about the impact process, and we wish to show that lunar observations can also provide valuable constraints.
