Three-Dimensional Simulations of Solar and Stellar Dynamos: The Influence of a Tachocline
M. S. Miesch, M. K. Browning, A. S. Brun +2
We review recent advances in modeling global-scale convection and dynamo processes with the Anelastic Spherical Harmonic (ASH) code. In particular, we have recently achieved the fi…
Evidence for Magnetic Flux Saturation in Rapidly Rotating M Stars
A. Reiners, G. Basri, M. Browning
We present magnetic flux measurements in seven rapidly rotating M dwarfs. Our sample stars have X-ray and H-alpha emission indicative of saturated emission, i.e., emission at a hig…
Rapidly Rotating Suns and Active Nests of Convection
Benjamin P. Brown, Matthew K. Browning, Allan Sacha Brun +2
In the solar convection zone, rotation couples with intensely turbulent convection to drive a strong differential rotation and achieve complex magnetic dynamo action. Our sun must…
Strong Dynamo Action in Rapidly Rotating Suns
Benjamin P. Brown, Matthew K. Browning, Allan Sacha Brun +3
Stellar dynamos are driven by complex couplings between rotation and turbulent convection, which drive global-scale flows and build and rebuild stellar magnetic fields. When stars…
Rapid Rotation, Active Nests of Convection and Global-scale Flows in Solar-like Stars
Benjamin P. Brown, Matthew K. Browning, Allan Sacha Brun +2
In the solar convection zone, rotation couples with intensely turbulent convection to build global-scale flows of differential rotation and meridional circulation. Our sun must hav…
Simulations of dynamo action in fully convective stars
Matthew Browning
We present three-dimensional nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the interiors of fully convective M-dwarfs. Our models consider 0.3 solar-mass stars using the Anelastic S…
Dynamo Action in Fully Convective Low-Mass Stars
Matthew Browning, Gibor Basri
Recent observations indicate that fully convective stars can effectively build magnetic fields without the aid of a tachocline of shear, that those fields can possess large-scale c…
Simulations of core convection in rotating A-type stars: Magnetic dynamo action
Allan Sacha Brun, Matthew K. Browning, Juri Toomre
Core convection and dynamo activity deep within rotating A-type stars of 2 solar masses are studied with 3--D nonlinear simulations. Our modeling considers the inner 30% by radius…
Dynamo Action in the Solar Convection Zone and Tachocline: Pumping and Organization of Toroidal Fields
Matthew Browning, Mark S. Miesch, Allan Sacha Brun +1
We present the first results from three-dimensional spherical shell simulations of magnetic dynamo action realized by turbulent convection penetrating downward into a tachocline of…
Simulations of core convection and resulting dynamo action in rotating A-type stars
Matthew Browning, Allan Sacha Brun, Juri Toomre
We present the results of 3--D nonlinear simulations of magnetic dynamo action by core convection within A-type stars of 2 solar masses, at a range of rotation rates. We consider t…
Simulations of core convection in rotating A-type stars: Differential rotation and overshooting
Matthew Browning, Allan Sacha Brun, Juri Toomre
We present the results of 3--D simulations of core convection within A-type stars of 2 solar masses, at a range of rotation rates. We consider the inner 30% by radius of such stars…
Inferring physical conditions in interstellar clouds of H_2
Matthew K. Browning, Jason Tumlinson, J. Michael Shull
We have developed a code that models the formation, destruction, radiative transfer, and vibrational/rotational excitation of H_2 in a detailed fashion. We discuss how such codes,…
A FUSE Survey of Interstellar Molecular Hydrogen in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds
Jason Tumlinson, J. Michael Shull, Brian L. Rachford +10
We describe a moderate-resolution FUSE survey of H2 along 70 sight lines to the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, using hot stars as background sources. FUSE spectra of 67% of obs…
