Is It Possible That Exit Planets Will Have Magnetospheres?
There are some methods out there, by looking at the light that is absorbed in the atmospheres of s astronomers can help gain information about the strength and whether or not these planets will have magnetic fields. We're coming at it from this is what we predict to happen based on our understanding of material properties. I really thought the fact that the planet was spinning was what was shaking that metallic liquid around and making the dynamo. The field of generating dynamos is something that's incredibly difficult to study but a thriving area of research.
