Points show the maximum lifetime of Triton’s dynamo after the start of each model for a critical Rem a, 100; b, 150; and c, 200. This sensitivity test also shows the sensitivity of our results to the assumed magnetic diffusivity. For example, doubling the magnetic diffusivity is equivalent to doubling the critical Rem, in terms of the predicted dynamo lifetime.
