Global-scale Simulations of Stellar Convection and their Observational Predictions

Benjamin P. Brown

Stars on the lower main sequence (F-type through M-type) have substantial convective envelopes beneath their stellar photospheres. Convection in these regions can couple with rotat…

Magnetic Cycles in a Convective Dynamo Simulation of a Young Solar-type Star

Benjamin P. Brown, Mark S. Miesch, Matthew K. Browning +2

Young solar-type stars rotate rapidly and many are magnetically active; some undergo magnetic cycles similar to the 22-year solar activity cycle. We conduct simulations of dynamo a…

An Experimental Plasma Dynamo Program for Investigations of Fundamental Processes in Heliophysics

Benjamin Brown, Cary Forest, Mark Nornberg +3

Plasma experiments in laboratory settings offer unique opportunities to address fundamental aspects of the solar dynamo and magnetism in the solar atmosphere. We argue here that gr…

Global-scale Magnetism (and Cycles) in Dynamo Simulations of Stellar Convection Zones

Benjamin P Brown, Matthew K Browning, Allan Sacha Brun +2

Young solar-type stars rotate rapidly and are very magnetically active. The magnetic fields at their surfaces likely originate in their convective envelopes where convection and ro…

Persistent Magnetic Wreaths in a Rapidly Rotating Sun

Benjamin P. Brown, Matthew K. Browning, Allen Sacha Brun +2

When our Sun was young it rotated much more rapidly than now. Observations of young, rapidly rotating stars indicate that many possess substantial magnetic activity and strong axis…
