Dynamo Action in Fully Convective Low-Mass Stars
Matthew Browning, Gibor Basri
Recent observations indicate that fully convective stars can effectively build magnetic fields without the aid of a tachocline of shear, that those fields can possess large-scale c…
Differential Rotation and Magnetism in Simulations of Fully Convective Stars
Matthew Browning
Stars of sufficiently low mass are convective throughout their interiors, and so do not possess an internal boundary layer akin to the solar tachocline. Because that interface figu…
Simulations of dynamo action in fully convective stars
Matthew Browning
We present three-dimensional nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the interiors of fully convective M-dwarfs. Our models consider 0.3 solar-mass stars using the Anelastic S…
Research Science and Education: The NSF's Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship
Dara Norman, Marcel Agueros, Timothy M. Brown +29
The NSF's Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship (AAPF) is exceptional among the available postdoctoral awards in Astronomy and Astrophysics. The fellowship is one of t…
Superrotation and Jet Migration in Simulations of Jupiter's Convective Zone and Weather Layer
Loren Matilsky, Geoffrey Vallis, Matthew Browning +1
The mean zonal flow observed on Jupiter consists of an intricate pattern of jets, or bands of zonal flow moving prograde or retrograde compared to the bulk planetary rotation. The…
Simulations of core convection and resulting dynamo action in rotating A-type stars
Matthew Browning, Allan Sacha Brun, Juri Toomre
We present the results of 3--D nonlinear simulations of magnetic dynamo action by core convection within A-type stars of 2 solar masses, at a range of rotation rates. We consider t…
