Predicted dynamos for terrestrial extra-solar planets and their influence in habitability (1011.5798v1)
Published 26 Nov 2010 in astro-ph.EP and physics.geo-ph
Abstract: In this paper, we find the internal stratification for terrestrial planets with given mass-radius pairs, and use the core size and density to estimate their maximum dipolar magnetic moment. We also comment on the temporal evolution, although more information (e.g., core composition, mantle rheology and history) is crucial in determining the state of the dynamo with planetary age.
