The relationship between solar and stellar tachoclines, dynamos, and spin-down

Loren I. Matilsky, Lydia Korre, Nicholas Brummell

The solar tachocline, a thin shear layer separating the differentially rotating convective zone (CZ) from the underlying rigidly rotating radiative zone (RZ), remains a dynamical m…

Superrotation and Jet Migration in Simulations of Jupiter's Convective Zone and Weather Layer

Loren Matilsky, Geoffrey Vallis, Matthew Browning +1

The mean zonal flow observed on Jupiter consists of an intricate pattern of jets, or bands of zonal flow moving prograde or retrograde compared to the bulk planetary rotation. The…

Evaluating the -effect Model of the Solar Hemispherical Helicity Bias via Direct Numerical Simulations

Jacob B. Noone Wade, Nicholas H. Brummell

The Solar Hemispherical Helicity Rule(s) (SHHR) is a term used to represent a bias observed in proxies for the magnetic helicity in active regions at the solar surface. The SHHR st…

A Dynamo Confinement Scenario for the Solar Tachocline and its Implications for Spin-down in the Radiative Spreading Regime

Loren I. Matilsky, Lydia Korre, Nicholas H. Brummell

At the base of the Sun's convective zone, a narrow shear layer called the tachocline separates strong latitudinal differential rotation above from nearly rigid rotation in the radi…

Dynamo Confinement of a Radiatively Spreading Solar Tachocline Revealed by Self-consistent Global Simulations

Loren I. Matilsky, Lydia Korre, Nicholas H. Brummell

The helioseismically observed solar tachocline is a thin internal boundary layer of shear that separates the rigidly-rotating solar radiative zone from the differentially-rotating…

On the Origin of Solar Hemispheric Helicity Rules: Rise of 3D Magnetic Flux Concentrations through a Background Magnetic Field

Bhishek Manek, Nicholas Brummell

Sunspots and active regions observed on the solar surface are widely believed to be manifestations of compact predominantly-toroidal magnetic field structures (``flux tubes") that…
