A Long‐Lived Planetesimal Dynamo Powered by Core Crystallization

A Long‐Lived Planetesimal Dynamo Powered by Core Crystallization

The existence of numerous iron meteorite groups indicates that some planetesimals underwent melting that led to metal-silicate segregation, sometimes producing metallic cores. Meteorite paleomagnetic records suggest that crystallization of these cores generated dynamo magnetic fields. Here we descri...
