Cause of chromospheric opposite polarity intrusions discovered in Sunrise III/SCIP data: MURaM-ChE simulations point to twisted flux ropes

Patrick A. Ondratschek, Damien F. Przybylski, Robert H. Cameron +33

The Sunrise Chromospheric Infrared spectroPolarimeter (SCIP) instrument onboard the balloon-borne Sunrise III observatory provided new high-resolution observations of the solar chr…

Effects of the radiative interior on solar inertial modes

Suprabha Mukhopadhyay, Yuto Bekki, Xiaojue Zhu +1

Solar inertial modes are believed to play important diagnostic and dynamical roles in the Sun's differentially rotating convection zone. However, the coupling of these modes to the…

Coriolis force acting on near-surface horizontal flows during simulations of flux emergence produces a tilt angle consistent with Joy's law on the Sun

William Roland-Batty, Hannah Schunker, Robert H. Cameron +3

Joy's law describes the tilt of bipolar active regions on the Sun away from an east-west orientation, where the flux of the polarity concentrated at the prograde side tends to be c…

Enhanced magnetic activity in rapidly rotating binary stars

Jie Yu, Charlotte Gehan, Saskia Hekker +12

Stellar activity is fundamental to stellar evolution and the formation and habitability of exoplanets. The interaction between convective motions and rotation in cool stars results…

Assessing the validity of the anelastic and Boussinesq approximations to model solar inertial modes

Suprabha Mukhopadhyay, Yuto Bekki, Xiaojue Zhu +1

Global-scale inertial modes of oscillations have been recently observed on the Sun. They might play an important dynamic and diagnostic role for the Sun. This work aims to assess t…

Sun-like stars produce superflares roughly once per century

Valeriy Vasilyev, Timo Reinhold, Alexander I. Shapiro +7

Stellar superflares are energetic outbursts of electromagnetic radiation, similar to solar flares but releasing more energy, up to erg on main sequence stars. It is unkno…

Combined Surface Flux Transport and Helioseismic Far-side Active Region Model (FARM)

Dan Yang, Stephan G. Heinemann, Robert H. Cameron +1

Maps of the magnetic field at the Sun's surface are commonly used as boundary conditions in space-weather modeling. However, continuous observations are only available from the Sun…

The rush to the poles and the role of magnetic buoyancy in the solar dynamo

Simon Cloutier, Robert H. Cameron, Laurent Gizon

The butterfly diagram of the solar cycle exhibits a poleward migration of the diffuse magnetic field resulting from the decay of trailing sunspots. It is one component of what is s…

Solar Inertial Modes

Laurent Gizon, Yuto Bekki, Aaron C. Birch +5

The Sun's global inertial modes are very sensitive to the solar differential rotation and to properties of the deep solar convection zone which are currently poorly constrained. Th…

A flux-independent increase in outflows prior to the emergence of active regions on the Sun

Hannah Schunker, William Roland-Batty, Aaron C. Birch +3

Emerging active regions are associated with convective flows on the spatial scale and lifetimes of supergranules. To understand how these flows are involved in the formation of act…

The mean solar butterfly diagram and poloidal field generation rate at the surface of the Sun

Simon Cloutier, Robert H. Cameron, Laurent Gizon

The difference between individual solar cycles in the magnetic butterfly diagram can mostly be ascribed to the stochasticity of the emergence process. We aim to obtain the expectat…

The Sun's differential rotation is controlled by high-latitude baroclinically unstable inertial modes

Yuto Bekki, Robert H. Cameron, Laurent Gizon

Rapidly rotating fluids have a rotation profile which depends only on the distance from the rotation axis, in accordance with the Taylor-Proudman theorem. Although the Sun was expe…

Evolution of solar surface inflows around emerging active regions

N. Gottschling, H. Schunker, A. C. Birch +2

Solar active regions are associated with Evershed outflows in sunspot penumbrae, moat outflows surrounding sunspots, and extended inflows surrounding active regions. The latter hav…

Modeling the Subsurface Structure of Sunspots

H. Moradi, C. Baldner, A. C. Birch +19

While sunspots are easily observed at the solar surface, determining their subsurface structure is not trivial. There are two main hypotheses for the subsurface structure of sunspo…
