    A study reveals the strongest evidence to date of a magnetic field on an exoplanet
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is taking part in an international study, published in the journal "Science", which provides the first conclusive evidence of a planet’s influence on the behaviour of its star. The results have made it possible to detect and estimate the strength of the magnetic field of the exoplanet GJ 436 b, opening up a new avenue for studying the habitability of planets outside the Solar System. Magnetic fields play a fundamental role in the habitability of planets. On Earth, the magnetic field acts as a shield against the solar wind and contributes to the
