Structure and Dynamics of the Sun's Interior Revealed by Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager

Alexander Kosovichev, Sarbani Basu, Yuto Bekki +43

High-resolution helioseismology observations with the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) provide a unique three-dimensional view of the…

Confinement of the Solar Tachocline by a Non-Axisymmetric Dynamo

Loren I. Matilsky, Nicholas H. Brummell, Bradley W. Hindman +1

We recently presented the first 3D numerical simulation of the solar interior for which tachocline confinement was achieved by a dynamo-generated magnetic field. In this followup s…

Confinement of the Solar Tachocline by Dynamo Action in the Radiative Interior

Loren I. Matilsky, Bradley W. Hindman, Nicholas A. Featherstone +2

A major outstanding problem in solar physics is the confinement of the solar tachocline, the thin shear layer that separates nearly solid-body rotation in the radiative interior fr…

Longitudinally Modulated Dynamo Action in Simulated M-Dwarf Stars

Connor P. Bice, Juri Toomre

M-dwarf stars are well known for the intense magnetic activity that many of them exhibit. In cool stars with near-surface convection zones, this magnetic activity is thought to be…

Powering Stellar Magnetism: Energy Transfers in Cyclic Dynamos of Sun-like Stars

Allan Sacha Brun, Antoine Strugarek, Quentin Noraz +5

We use the ASH code to model the convective dynamo of solar-type stars. Based on a series of 15 3-D MHD simulations spanning 4 bins in rotation and mass, we show what mechanisms ar…

Building and Maintaining a Solar Tachocline through Convective Dynamo Action

Loren I. Matilsky, Juri Toomre

For more than thirty years, the dynamical maintenance of the thin solar tachocline has remained one of the central outstanding problems of stellar astrophysics. Three main theories…
