| Description: | The presence of an active magnetosphere is one of the most important parameters for determining planet habitability. This review summarizes the current information on the formation of exoplanets orbiting Sunlike stars in an effort to guide the search for habitable worlds. Current and future methods of identifying exoplanetary magnetic fields are discussed, as well as the classification of potentially habitable planets. Special attention is paid to the stellar environment, how planetary magnetic fields are created, and to the tools used to characterize exoplanets. Should extraterrestrial life ever be measured, extremophiles offer Earth’s best analog to what it may look like. Thus, a comparison between extremophiles and potential host exoplanets are discussed. |
