Long-lived thermal dynamo generation on differentiated, impact-disrupted planetesimals
Hannah R. Sanderson, James F. J. Bryson, Claire I. O. Nichols
Meteorites containing both metal and silicates indicate that some planetesimals were partially differentiated and/or processes mixed planetesimal cores and mantles post-differentia…
Dynamo generation reveals redox conditions during formation of differentiated planetesimals
Hannah R. Sanderson, James F. J. Bryson, Claire I. O. Nichols
In the early Solar System, an isotopic dichotomy existed between non-carbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC) planetesimals. Depending on the formation location of these planetesima…
Onset of dynamo action in planetesimals
Ludovic Huguet, Jonathan E. Mound, Christopher J. Davies +1
Several meteorites have been found to carry primary remanent magnetizations imparted by fields generated within planetesimal cores during the early solar system. Thermal evolution…
Resonant lunar tides of Earth's core and basal magma ocean
Murray B. C. Kiernan, Hamish C. F. C. Hay, David W. Rees Jones +2
Earth's magnetic field is generated by fluid motion in the liquid-metal core and has been active for billions of year. However, prior to the onset of inner-core growth, the sources…
