Exomoons on Rogue Planets: Tidal Heating and Atmospheres Could Sustain Habitable Oceans Without Starlight
To the point
David Dahlbüdding's study argues that Earth-mass exomoons around Jupiter-mass free-floating planets could stay warm and keep oceans liquid for billions of years due to tidal heating from eccentric orbits and heat-trapping hydrogen-rich atmospheres, even without starlight.
