Scientific paper

The main effect of the cooling studied by means of the present thermal evolution models of the moon from an initially hot, differentiated early state is a growth of the thermal lithosphere, while the lower mantle and core remain hot. While the heat flow from the core decreases to the point where further cooling is conductive, a core dynamo operates until 3 Ga ago and it then shut off.
