![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Behavior of planetary dynamos under the influence of external magnetic fields: Application to Mercury and Ganymede Behavior of planetary dynamos under the influence of external magnetic fields: Application to Mercury and Ganymede](/preview/png/1774313.png)
For planets with strong intrinsic magnetic fields such as Earth and Jupiter, an external magnetic field is unlikely to affect the internal dynamo, but for bodies with weak intrinsic fields in appropriate environments, such as Mercury and Ganymede, the interaction with nearby field sources may determine the internal dynamics and overall behavior of their liquid iron cores. On the basis of simulations of such interactions using numerical models for fluid flow and dynamo generation, the parameter regimes for stable dipolar and multipolar reversing dynamo magnetic fields established for isolated systems can be substantially changed by the action of external sources. Relatively weak external background fields (as low as 2% of the averaged undisturbed field at the core–mantle boundary) may change the energy balance and alter the regime over which natural isolated dynamos operate.
