Magnetodynamo Lifetimes for Rocky, Earth-Mass Exoplanets with Contrasting Mantle Convection Regimes
Joost van Summeren, Eric Gaidos, Clinton P. Conrad
We used a thermal model of an iron core to calculate magnetodynamo evolution in Earth-mass rocky planets to determine the sensitivity of dynamo lifetime and intensity to planets wi…
Mantle Convection, Plate Tectonics, and Volcanism on Hot Exo-Earths
Joost van Summeren, Clinton P. Conrad, Eric Gaidos
Recently discovered exoplanets on close-in orbits should have surface temperatures of 100's to 1000's of K. They are likely tidally locked and synchronously rotating around their p…
Thermodynamic Limits on Magnetodynamos in Rocky Exoplanets
Eric Gaidos, Clinton P. Conrad, Michael Manga +1
To ascertain whether magnetic dynamos operate in rocky exoplanets more massive or hotter than the Earth, we developed a parametric model of a differentiated rocky planet and its th…
