Global-scale Magnetism (and Cycles) in Dynamo Simulations of Stellar Convection Zones

Benjamin P Brown, Matthew K Browning, Allan Sacha Brun +2

Young solar-type stars rotate rapidly and are very magnetically active. The magnetic fields at their surfaces likely originate in their convective envelopes where convection and ro…

Persistent Magnetic Wreaths in a Rapidly Rotating Sun

Benjamin P. Brown, Matthew K. Browning, Allen Sacha Brun +2

When our Sun was young it rotated much more rapidly than now. Observations of young, rapidly rotating stars indicate that many possess substantial magnetic activity and strong axis…

Convection and dynamo action in B stars

Kyle C. Augustson, Allan S. Brun, Juri Toomre

Main-sequence massive stars possess convective cores that likely harbor strong dynamo action. To assess the role of core convection in building magnetic fields within these stars,…

Global-scale wreath-building dynamos in stellar convection zones

Benjamin P Brown, Matthew K Browning, Allan S Brun +2

When stars like our Sun are young they rotate rapidly and are very magnetically active. We explore dynamo action in rapidly rotating suns with the 3-D MHD anelastic spherical harmo…

Global magnetic cycles in rapidly rotating younger suns

Nicholas J. Nelson, Benjamin P. Brown, Matthew K. Browning +3

Observations of sun-like stars rotating faster than our current sun tend to exhibit increased magnetic activity as well as magnetic cycles spanning multiple years. Using global sim…

Magnetic Cycles and Meridional Circulation in Global Models of Solar Convection

Mark S. Miesch, Benjamin P. Brown, Matthew K. Browning +2

We review recent insights into the dynamics of the solar convection zone obtained from global numerical simulations, focusing on two recent developments in particular. The first is…
