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...
