The Capon method for Mercury's magnetic field analysis

Motschmann, Uwe; Toepfer, Simon; Narita, Yasuhito +1 more

Characterization of Mercury's internal and external magnetic field is one of the primary goals of the magnetometer experiment on board the BepiColombo MPO (Mercury Planetary Orbiter) spacecraft. A novel data analysis tool is developed to determine the Gauss coefficients in the multipole expansion using Capon's minimum variance projection method. T…
