Earth-like Exoplanet detection through their auroral kilometric radiation (AKR)

As of now the knowledge obtained on the extrasolar planetary magnetic fields is still small compared to what is known of the magnetic fields composed in our solar system. Planets with magnetic fields radiate in the radio band. Specifically, Auroral Kilometric radiation (AKR) originates from cyclotron emission of electrons orbiting the planet's magnetic field lines. In this project, we investigate the possibility of detecting the AKR emission of Earth-like exoplanets. We collect information on detected Earth-like exoplanets from NASA's exoplanet archive data. Assuming they have the same AKR emission as Earth, we calculate the detection probability of this emission using the Square Kilometric Array (SKA) radio telescope.
