Is there any way for us to be able to tell if it has an extant of strong magnetosphere? Or is being able to tell that still outside of our reach
I don’t know if that is detectable, but having an atmosphere is a good sign since it means either there is a protective magnetosphere or the atmosphere is replenished as fast/faster than it is stripped away by solar wind.
Given its size, age, and the fact that it has an atmosphere at all, I don't think it's likely at all not to have a magnetosphere but I'm no expert
