The solar dynamo begins near the surface
Geoffrey M Vasil, Daniel Lecoanet, Kyle Augustson +5
The Sun's magnetic dynamo cycle features a distinct pattern: a propagating region of sunspot emergence appears around 30 degrees latitude and vanishes near the equator every 11 yea…
The photometric variability of massive stars due to gravity waves excited by core convection
Evan H. Anders, Daniel Lecoanet, Matteo Cantiello +8
Massive stars die in catastrophic explosions, which seed the interstellar medium with heavy elements and produce neutron stars and black holes. Predictions of the explosion's chara…
The Puzzling Structure of Solar Convection: Window into the Dynamo
Nicholas A. Featherstone, Kyle C. Augustson, Jonathan M. Aurnou +25
The operation of the solar dynamo, with all of its remarkable spatio-temporal ordering, remains an outstanding problem of modern solar physics. A number of mechanisms that might pl…
The Stability of Prendergast Magnetic Fields
Emma Kaufman, Daniel Lecoanet, Evan H. Anders +4
Convection in massive main sequence stars generates large scale magnetic fields in their cores which persists as they evolve up the red giant branch. The remnants of these fields m…
The rotational influence on solar convection
Geoffrey M. Vasil, Keith Julien, Nicholas A. Featherstone
This paper considers the dominant dynamical, thermal and rotational balances within the solar convection zone. The reasoning is such that: Coriolis forces balance pressure gradient…
Single-hemisphere dynamos in M-dwarf stars
Benjamin P. Brown, Jeffrey S. Oishi, Geoffrey M. Vasil +2
M-dwarf stars below a certain mass are convective from their cores to their photospheres. These fully convective objects are extremely numerous, very magnetically active, and the l…
