Impacts of Tidal Locking on Magnetospheric Energy Input to Exoplanet Atmospheres
We investigate the effect of planetary corotation on energy dissipation within the magnetosphere–ionosphere system of exoplanets. Using magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we find that tidally locked exoplanets have a higher cross polar cap potential (CPCP) compared to fast-rotating planets with the sa...
