Viscous Dissipation and Dynamics in Simulations of Rotating, Stratified Plane-layer Convection

Simon R. W. Lance, Laura K. Currie, Matthew K. Browning

Convection in stars and planets must be maintained against viscous and Ohmic dissipation. Here, we present the first systematic investigation of viscous dissipation in simulations…

Simulations of solar and stellar dynamos and their theoretical interpretation

Petri J. Käpylä, Matthew K. Browning, Allan Sacha Brun +2

We review the state of the art of three dimensional numerical simulations of solar and stellar dynamos. We summarize fundamental constraints of numerical modelling and the techniqu…

Convection with Misaligned Gravity and Rotation: Simulations and Rotating Mixing Length Theory

Laura K. Currie, Adrian J. Barker, Yoram Lithwick +1

We present numerical simulations, using two complementary setups, of rotating Boussinesq thermal convection in a three-dimensional Cartesian geometry with misaligned gravity and ro…

High-Energy Photon and Particle Effects onExoplanet Atmospheres and Habitability

Jeremy J. Drake, Julián D. Alvarado-Gómez, Vladimir Airapetian +41

It is now recognized that energetic stellar photon and particle radiation evaporates and erodes planetary atmospheres and controls upper atmospheric chemistry. Key exoplanet host s…

Astro2020 Science White Paper: Fundamental Physics with Brown Dwarfs: The Mass-Radius Relation

Adam Burgasser, Isabelle Baraffe, Matthew Browning +17

The lowest-mass stars, brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets span a minimum in the mass-radius relationship that probes the fundamental physics of extreme states of matter, magnetism,…

The Radius and Entropy of a Magnetized, Rotating Fully-convective Star: Analysis With Depth-dependent Mixing Length Theories

Lewis G. Ireland, Matthew K. Browning

Some low-mass stars appear to have larger radii than predicted by standard 1D structure models; prior work has suggested that inefficient convective heat transport, due to rotation…
