Extended Data Table 2 Values of the parameters used in the planetary cooling and dynamo generation models

From: Long-lived magnetism from solidification-driven convection on the pallasite parent body

  1. All values are supported by experimental and/or theoretical work1,7,35. From the top row to the bottom, the parameters are the mantle thermal diffusivity, the incremental distance, the incremental time, the core radius, the mantle thermal conductivity, the density of the core material, the heat capacity of the core material and the latent heat of core solidification.
