Published June 3, 2026 | Version v2.0.0

A refined, versatile model for planetesimal thermal evolution and dynamo generation

Authors/Creators

Description

Code release associated with two papers: i) Parent body properties of the Main Group pallasites and IIE irons ii) Using planetesimal dynamo generation to explore planetesimal redox states. Key new features include:

  • variable core radius fraction
  • updated mantle solidus and viscosity parametrisations to allow for variable water content in nominally anhydrous minerals
  • post-processing workflows to test consistency between a model run and a meteorite group's thermal and magnetic history Parameter/results files for the two papers are also included. Another minor release will be added after these papers have gone through peer review and both papers will be included in the README.
