A key stage in planet formation is the evolution of a gaseous and magnetized solar nebula.
However, the lifetime of the nebular magnetic field and nebula are poorly constrained. We …

Magnetic fields are proposed to have played a critical role in some of the most enigmatic
processes of planetary formation by mediating the rapid accretion of disk material onto the …

Angrites are among the oldest known pristine basaltic meteorites and record the earliest
stages of planet formation and differentiation. Our paleomagnetic analysis of three angrites …

We review recent advances in our understanding of magnetism in the solar nebula and
protoplanetary disks (PPDs). We discuss the implications of theory, meteorite …

It is uncertain whether the Moon ever formed a metallic core or generated a core dynamo.
The lunar crust and returned samples are magnetized, but the source of this magnetization …

The evolution and lifetime of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) play a central role in the formation
and architecture of planetary systems. Astronomical observations suggest that PPDs evolve …

Abstract Palaeomagnetic measurements of meteorites,,,, suggest that, shortly after the birth
of the Solar System, the molten metallic cores of many small planetary bodies convected …

The large-scale compositional structures of planets are primarily established during early
global differentiation. Advances in analytical geochemistry, the increasing diversity of …

Magnetic fields in the early solar system may have driven the inward accretion of the
protoplanetary disk (PPD) and generated instabilities that led to the formation of planets and …

Knowing when the geodynamo started is important for understanding the evolution of the
core, the atmosphere, and life on Earth. We report full-vector paleointensity measurements …
