  • Authors: Rakesh K. Yadav, and Daniel P. Thorngren

2017 The Astrophysical Journal Letters 849 L12.

Caption: Figure 2.

Mean magnetic field strength on the dynamo surface (Bdynmean) vs. the planetary radius in panel (a) and a similar figure for the magnetic field strength on the planetary surface at the rotational pole (Bpolardipole) in panel (b). The symbol area scales as a function of the incident stellar heat flux (in ﹩\mathrm{erg}\,{{\rm{s}}}^{-1}\,{\mathrm{cm}}^{-2}﹩) with the smallest and largest symbol representing 2 × 108 and 1010, respectively. The color of the symbols represents the mass of the planets.
