Magnetic Fields in Earth-like Exoplanets and Implications for Habitability around M-dwarfs
Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Natalia Gomez-Perez, Thomas Ruedas
We present estimations of dipolar magnetic moments for terrestrial exoplanets using the Olson & Christiansen (2006) scaling law and assuming their interior structure is similar to…
Habitability of Planets Orbiting Cool Stars
Rory Barnes, Victoria S. Meadows, Shawn D. Domagal-Goldman +6
Terrestrial planets are more likely to be detected if they orbit M dwarfs due to the favorable planet/star size and mass ratios. However, M dwarf habitable zones are significantly…
Predicted dynamos for terrestrial extra-solar planets and their influence in habitability
Natalia Gomez-Perez, Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Thomas Ruedas
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 magneti…
Effects of a radially varying electrical conductivity on 3D numerical dynamos
Natalia Gomez-Perez, Moritz H. Heimpel, Johannes Wicht
The transition from liquid metal to silicate rock in the cores of the terrestrial planets is likely to be accompanied by a gradient in the composition of the outer core liquid. The…
