If planetary dynamos should be driven by internal heat flow essentially (i.e. thermally driven dynamo, TDD), the answer relies on the energy budget of the planetary interior. On Earth, the Moon-forming impact provided a lot of energy ∼4.5 billion years ago and the magnetic field remains strong until present. Despite extensive work on this subject, the controversial nature of the outer-core's thermal conductivity (<em>k</em><sub><em>Cond</em></sub>) makes the energy budget of the core open to discussions. Here we present new experimental constraints on the evolution of <em>k</em><sub><em>Cond</em></sub> with pressure from 22 to 150 GPa and temperature from 1050 to 2700 K. <em>k</em><sub><em>Cond</em></sub> is obtained by numerical modeling of the mechanism of propagation of a short heat pulse through a thin foil of iron loaded, compressed and heated in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell. With good coverage of large P-T domains, the accuracy of our measurements enables an accurate modeling of <em>k</em><sub><em>Cond</em></sub> as a function of the molar volume of Fe and temperature. We refine a value of 37(5) W/m/K at P-T conditions found at the Earth core-mantle boundary (CMB). If the geodynamo should be TDD essentially, this implies CMB cooling by 380–450 K over the entire Earth history and an inner core 1.9(4) billion years old. By comparing the mantle efficiency to extract heat at the CMB with the power requirement to sustain a TDD, we show that the geodynamo is unlikely to stop until the Earth's core is solidified. This effect comes from a decreasing power requirement to generate the dynamo with decreasing the temperature at the CMB. Now applying our P-T dependent <em>k</em><sub><em>Cond</em></sub> model to terrestrial planets with various external radii and fractions of silicate and metal, we show that the core size is a critical parameter. For a core smaller than a critical size, mantle convection induces a sufficient CMB heat flow to enable a TDD. This can explain absence of dynamo on Mars and possibly on Venus also if its core would be relatively large. Calculations show that exoplanets 1.5 times heavier than the Earth are unlikely to present an alive TDD, especially if they present large bulk densities. In contrast, the small exoplanets reported to date could host a TDD.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54614,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors","volume":"360 ","pages":"Article 107315"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143150396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many satellites carry so-called platform magnetometers that are part of their attitude and orbit control systems.

These platform magnetometer data obtained from satellite missions not dedicated to geomagnetic fields complement high-precision data from the Swarm mission by additional coverage in space, time, and magnetic local times. In this work, we present an extension to a previous machine learning approach for automatic in-situ calibration of platform magnetometers.

We demonstrate how magnetic dipoles can be co-estimated in a neural network for the calibration of platform magnetometers and thus enhance the machine learning-based approach to follow known physical principles.

Best fits to primitive mantle and core siderophile abundances are found in cases where the proto-Earth accreted with pebbles to approximately 0.6 times its present mass under slightly reducing conditions, then added the remaining mass via one or more impactors with the same composition.

Here, we propose a new method that simultaneously determines the mantle conductivity model during geomagnetic field modeling. This method has the advantages of (i) self-consistently accounting for the induced field in geomagnetic field modeling, and (ii) simultaneously providing valuable information on Earth's internal structure.

We also investigate how different conductivity models affect geomagnetic field modeling.

Petrography and rock magnetism analyses revealed a mixture of high- and low-titanium magnetite particles, predominantly of pseudo-single domain nature (with a smaller proportion of multi-domain dominated) grains are primary remanence carriers. We identified four distinct types of magnetic fabric (I-IV) within the Pachmarhi dykes. The K<sub>1</sub>-axis being parallel to the dyke plane, and the intersection of the imbrication angle of magnetic foliation (for oblate fabric) and magnetic lineation (for prolate fabric) was used to discern the direction of magma flow. This analysis revealed multiple trends of magma flow, ranging from vertical/sub-vertical to inclined. The flow fabric provides valuable information about the presence of multiple shallow sub-crustal magma chambers. This interpretation aligns with prior independent gravity and 3-D density modelling studies, which indicates the presence of dense mafic magma bodies at depths of 4 to 8 km along the Narmada-Tapi intraplate rift zone. These findings are similar to those observed in the Nandurbar-Dhule dyke swarms in the western region of the Narmada-Satpura-Tapi dykes. Consequently, we can infer that the emplacement of dykes in the Pachmarhi region of the Narmada-Son-Lineament, which likely served as feeders for the late-stage Deccan volcanism, was primarily facilitated by a “polycentric flow” mechanism. In this process, magma was injected vertically from multiple shallow magma chambers through crustal fissures, potentially feeding into the late-stage Deccan flow units, such as the Ambenali or Mahabaleshwar Formations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54614,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors","volume":"357 ","pages":"Article 107285"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142746542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
