| 8 | + Micropaleomagnetic analysis offers a path to high-precision reconstructions |
| 9 | + of ancient magnetic fields from terrestrial and space-returned samples by |
| 10 | + inverting the vertical stray field of individual particles to recover their |
| 11 | + magnetic moments through the use of magnetic microscopes. Constraining such |
| 12 | + inversions requires a detailed understanding of how domain state influences |
| 13 | + the dipolar and non-dipolar components of the stray field with distance. |
| 14 | + Here, we use micromagnetic solutions of remanent states in real, irregular |
| 15 | + sub- to near-micron magnetite particle morphologies to calculate vertical |
| 16 | + stray fields at various heights, evaluating how dipolar and non-dipolar |
| 17 | + signals can be recovered with both simple Cartesian dipole and multidipolar |
| 18 | + models in the presence and absence of noise. Our results show that |
| 19 | + single-domain and single-vortex state (SV) grains produce strong dipolar |
| 20 | + anomalies that attenuate rapidly, limiting reliable detection to |
| 21 | + observation heights below ∼1μm for 5nT noise or ∼0.5μm for 50nT noise. |
| 22 | + Larger SV or multivortex grains remain detectable to ∼5-10μm but with |
| 23 | + reduced moment fidelity. Multipolar components decay orders of magnitude |
| 24 | + faster than the dipole and are quickly lost in noise at practical |
| 25 | + distances. Dipole-only inversions yield stable, accurate results beyond |
| 26 | + ∼2μm, while multipolar fits can improve near-surface accuracy but add |
| 27 | + significant uncertainty in noisy data. Because strongly non-dipolar |
| 28 | + anomalies observed at heights ≥1-2μm may arise from large multidomain |
| 29 | + grains or from the combined response of short- and long-wave signals of |
| 30 | + clusters of particles, they should be interpreted with caution. We |
| 31 | + highlight the need to minimize sensor noise, optimize stand-off distance, |
| 32 | + and carefully interpret signals for robust micropaleomagnetic measurement. |
