Observations of the magnetization state of asteroids indicate diverse properties. Values between 1.9 × 10^-6 Am²/kg (Eros) and 10^-2 Am²/kg (Braille) have been reported. A more detailed understanding of asteroidal magnetic properties allows far-reaching conclusions of the magnetization mechanism as well as…
