Towards more realistic core-mantle boundary heat flux patterns: a source of diversity in planetary dynamos

H Amit, G Choblet, P Olson, J Monteux… - Progress in Earth and …, 2015 - Springer
Mantle control on planetary dynamos is often studied by imposing heterogeneous core-

On the cooling of a deep terrestrial magma ocean

J Monteux, D Andrault, H Samuel - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2016 - Elsevier
Several episodes of complete melting have probably occurred during the first stages of the
Earth's evolution. We have developed a numerical model to monitor the thermal and melt …

The deep Earth may not be cooling down

D Andrault, J Monteux, M Le Bars, H Samuel - Earth and planetary science …, 2016 - Elsevier
The Earth is a thermal engine generating the fundamental processes of geomagnetic field,
plate tectonics and volcanism. Large amounts of heat are permanently lost at the surface …

The rheology and thermal history of Mars revealed by the orbital evolution of Phobos

H Samuel, P Lognonné, M Panning, V Lainey - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
The evolution and internal structure of Mars are, by comparison to its present-day surface,
poorly known—although evidence of recent volcanic activity suggests that its deep interior …

Structure of differentiated planetesimals: A chondritic fridge on top of a magma ocean

C Sturtz, A Limare, M Chaussidon, É Kaminski - Icarus, 2022 - Elsevier
Meteorites are interpreted as relics of early formed planetary bodies, and they provide
information about the processes that occurred in the first few Myrs of our solar system. The …

Thermal Evolution and magnetic history of rocky planets

J Zhang, LA Rogers - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
