Modeling effects of starspots on stellar magnetic cycles

Zebin Zhang, Jie Jiang, Leonid Kitchatinov

Observations show that faster-rotating stars tend to have stronger magnetic activity and shorter magnetic cycles. The cyclical magnetic activity of the Sun and stars is believed to…

Superflares on Giant Stars

M. M. Katsova, L. L. Kitchatinov, D. Moss +2

The Kepler mission identified huge flares on various stars including some of solar type. These events are substantially more energetic than solar flares, and so they are referred t…

Can superflares occur on the Sun? A view from dynamo theory

M. M. Katsova, L. L. Kitchatinov, M. A. Livshits +3

Recent data from the Kepler mission has revealed the occurrence of superflares in sun-like stars which exceed by far any observed solar flares in release of energy. A natural idea…

Magnetic fields in fully convective M-dwarfs: oscillatory dynamos vs bistability

L. L. Kitchatinov, D. Moss, D. Sokoloff

M-dwarfs demonstrate two types of activity: 1) strong (kilogauss) almost axisymmetric poloidal magnetic fields; and 2) considerably weaker nonaxisymmetric fields, sometimes includi…

Reversals of the solar dipole

David Moss, Leonid L. Kitchatinov, Dmitri Sokoloff

During a solar magnetic field reversal the magnetic dipole moment does not vanish, but migrates between poles, in contradiction to the predictions of mean-field dynamo theory. We t…
