Deep layers of molten rock inside some super-Earths can create strong magnetic fields—perhaps stronger than Earth's—that help protect these exoplanets from harmful radiation. Credit: University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics illustration / Michael Franchot
Deep magma oceans in super-Earths may create a protective magnetic field
Researchers suggest that deep layers of molten rock within large super-Earths could power a magmatic dynamo, producing strong, persistent magnetic fields over billions of years, and improving the chances of life in the habitable zone.
