Are There Documented Polarities in Comets' Magnetic Fields?

[bitznbitez]

Comets have what is called an "induced magnetosphere". Has anyone been able to document polarity in any of the observed comets magnetic fields yet ? If they have I'm curious how it relates to the orbital plane of the comet.

I haven't been able to locate that info if it exists so just asking if anyone else has.

Watching Rosetta and 67/P has me thinking about comets.

Not sure. Here's a PDF on the topic that I found: http://www2.ku.edu/~kuspace/aeronomy/comet-tutorial.pdf
See if it helps.
