Discovery of radio emission from the exoplanet 𝛽 Pictoris b
gnetic fields shape atmospheric escape, mediate interactions with stellar winds, and encode information about planetary interiors1, yet they have not been directly measured for planets beyond the Solar System. A direct observable signature is auroral radio emission produced by the electron cyclotron maser instability, whose highest emitted frequency is set by the magnetic field strength at its source2.
