Surface Manifestation of Stochastically Excited Internal Gravity Waves
Daniel Lecoanet, Matteo Cantiello, Evan H. Anders +5
Recent photometric observations of massive stars show ubiquitous low-frequency "red-noise" variability, which has been interpreted as internal gravity waves (IGWs). Simulations of…
Low-frequency variability in massive stars: Core generation or surface phenomenon?
Daniel Lecoanet, Matteo Cantiello, Eliot Quataert +6
Bowman et al. (2019) reported low-frequency photometric variability in 164 O- and B-type stars observed with K2 and TESS. They interpret these motions as internal gravity waves, wh…
Evolution and characteristics of forced shear flows in polytropic atmospheres: Large and small Péclet number regimes
V. Witzke, L. J. Silvers, B. Favier
Complex mixing and magnetic field generation occurs within stellar interiors particularly where there is a strong shear flow. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of these proce…
Evolution of forced shear flows in polytropic atmospheres: A comparison of forcing methods and energetics
V. Witzke, L. J. Silvers, B. Favier
Shear flows are ubiquitous in astrophysical objects including planetary and stellar interiors, where their dynamics can have significant impact on thermo-chemical processes. Invest…
Mesogranulation and small-scale dynamo action in the quiet Sun
Paul J. Bushby, Benjamin Favier
Regions of quiet Sun generally exhibit a complex distribution of small-scale magnetic field structures, which interact with the near-surface turbulent convective motions. Furthermo…
Small-scale dynamo action in rotating compressible convection
Benjamin F. N. Favier, Paul J. Bushby
We study dynamo action in a convective layer of electrically-conducting, compressible fluid, rotating about the vertical axis. At the upper and lower bounding surfaces, perfectly-c…
