Towards more realistic core-mantle boundary heat flux patterns: a source of diversity in planetary dynamos
Mantle control on planetary dynamos is often studied by imposing heterogeneous core-
mantle boundary (CMB) heat flux patterns on the outer boundary of numerical dynamo …

On the cooling of a deep terrestrial magma ocean
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
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
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
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
We present a thermal evolution model coupled with a Henyey solver to study the
circumstances under which a rocky planet could potentially host a dynamo in its liquid iron …

Thermal conductivity of FeS and its implications for Mercury's long‐sustaining magnetic field
The MESSENGER mission revealed that Mercury's magnetic field might have operated
since 3.7–3.9 Ga. While the intrinsic magnetism suggests an active dynamo within Mercury's …

A re-evaluation of metal diapir breakup and equilibration in terrestrial magma oceans
H Samuel - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2012 - Elsevier
Due to mechanisms such as impact heating, early atmospheric thermal blanketing, and
radioactive heating, the presence of at least one global magma ocean stage in the early …
