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…
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…
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…
