Characterization of the magnetism of exoplanets
The research in exoplanetary sciences has skyrocketed since the first discovery of planet 51 Peg b by Mayor and Queloz (1995). More than 5200 exoplanets have been discovered since and have revolutionized our understanding of how star-planet systems are formed and evolve. More and more exoplanets keep being discovered today, and their characteristics and that of their host star are being precisely determined using space-based and ground-based multi-wavelengths observations. Nevertheless, we are still blind to a fundamental aspect of exoplanets: what kind of magnetism and magnetosphere do they possess? On Earth, we know the magnetic field shields the atmosphere from the space environment and…
