The Effects of a Stably Stratified Region with radially varying Electrical Conductivity on the Formation of Zonal Winds on Gas Planets
Paula N. Wulff, Ulrich R. Christensen, Wieland Dietrich +1
The outer areas of Jupiter and Saturn have multiple zonal winds, reaching the high latitudes, that penetrate deep into the planets' interiors, as suggested by gravity measurements.…
Bridging planets and stars using scaling laws in anelastic spherical shell dynamos
Rakesh K. Yadav, Thomas Gastine, Ulrich R. Christensen +1
Dynamos operating in the interiors of rapidly rotating planets and low-mass stars might belong to a similar category where rotation plays a vital role. We quantify this similarity…
What controls the large-scale magnetic fields of M dwarfs?
T. Gastine, J. Morin, L. Duarte +3
Observations of active M dwarfs show a broad variety of large-scale magnetic fields encompassing dipole-dominated and multipolar geometries. We detail the analogy between some anel…
What controls the magnetic geometry of M dwarfs?
T. Gastine, J. Morin, L. Duarte +3
Context: observations of rapidly rotating M dwarfs show a broad variety of large-scale magnetic fields encompassing dipole-dominated and multipolar geometries. In dynamo models, th…
A magnetic field evolution scenario for brown dwarfs and giant planets
Ansgar Reiners, Ulrich R. Christensen
Very little is known about magnetic fields of extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs. We use the energy flux scaling law presented by Christensen et al. (2009) to calculate the evolut…
Surprisingly Weak Magnetism on Young Accreting Brown Dwarfs
Ansgar Reiners, Gibor Basri, Ulrich R. Christensen
We have measured the surface magnetic flux on four accreting young brown dwarfs and one non-accreting young very low-mass star utilizing high resolution spectra of absorption lines…
