Abstract
A derivation is given of the field intensities created in vacuum by a neutral, arbitrarily moving point particle possessing a proper magnetic moment. For brevity this particle is called a magneton. The field of the magneton is represented as the superposition of a convective field and a radiation field. It is shown that the radiation field possesses the characteristic properties of the field of an electromagnetic plane wave — orthogonality and transversality.
