The problem of small and large scale fields in the solar dynamo

A. Brandenburg, N. E. L. Haugen, P. J. Käpylä +1

Three closely related stumbling blocks of solar mean field dynamo theory are discussed: how dominant are the small scale fields, how is the alpha effect quenched, and whether magne…

Estimates of the Strouhal number from numerical models of convection

P. J. Käpylä, M. J. Korpi, M. Ossendrijver +1

We determine the Strouhal number (hereafter St), which is essentially a nondimensional measure of the correlation time, from numerical calculations of convection. We use two indepe…

Magnetic field generation in fully convective rotating spheres

W. Dobler, M. Stix, A. Brandenburg

Magnetohydrodynamic simulations of fully convective, rotating spheres with volume heating near the center and cooling at the surface are presented. The dynamo-generated magnetic fi…

Local models of stellar convection III: The Strouhal number

P. J. Käpylä, M. J. Korpi, M. Ossendrijver +1

Aims: The Strouhal number (St), which is a nondimensional measure of the correlation time, is determined from numerical models of convection. The Strouhal number arises in the mean…

Local models of stellar convection II: Rotation dependence of the mixing length relations

P. J. Käpylä, M. J. Korpi, M. Stix +1

We study the mixing length concept in comparison to three-dimensional numerical calculations of convection with rotation. In a limited range, the velocity and temperature fluctuati…

Coronal heating through braiding of magnetic field lines

H. Peter, B. V. Gudiksen, A. Nordlund

Cool stars like our Sun are surrounded by a million degree hot outer atmosphere, the corona. Since more than 60 years the physical nature of the processes heating the corona to tem…

Helical coronal ejections and their role in the solar cycle

Axel Brandenburg, Christer Sandin, Petri J. Käpylä

The standard theory of the solar cycle in terms of an alpha-Omega dynamo hinges on a proper understanding of the nonlinear alpha effect. Boundary conditions play a surprisingly imp…

Phase diversity restoration of sunspot images I. Relations between penumbral and photospheric features

J. A. Bonet, I. Marquez, R. Muller +2

We investigate the dynamics of and the relations between small-scale penumbral and photospheric features near the outer penumbral boundary: penumbral grains (PGs), dark penumbral f…

Dynamics of solar coronal loops II. Catastrophic cooling and high-speed downflows

D. A. N. Mueller, H. Peter, V. H. Hansteen

This work addresses the problem of plasma condensation and ``catastrophic cooling'' in solar coronal loops. We have carried out numerical calculations of coronal loops and find sev…
