Solar activity in the past and the chaotic behaviour of the dynamo

R. Arlt, N. Weiss

The record of solar activity is reviewed here with emphasis on peculiarities. Since sunspot positions tell us a lot more about the solar dynamo than the various global sunspot numb…

Magnetic buoyancy instabilities in the presence of magnetic flux pumping at the base of the solar convection zone

Adrian J. Barker, Lara J. Silvers, Michael R. E. Proctor +1

We perform idealised numerical simulations of magnetic buoyancy instabilities in a model of the solar tachocline. We introduce a simplified model of magnetic flux pumping in an upp…

Global model of differential rotation in the Sun

Steven A. Balbus, Henrik Latter, Nigel Weiss

The isorotation contours of the solar convective zone (SCZ) show three distinct morphologies, corresponding to two boundary layers (inner and outer), and the bulk of the interior.…

Differential rotation in fully convective stars

Steven A. Balbus, Nigel O. Weiss

Under the assumption of thermal wind balance and effective entropy mixing in constant rotation surfaces, the isorotational contours of the solar convective zone may be reproduced w…

On Differential Rotation and Convection in the Sun

S. A. Balbus, J. Bonart, H. N. Latter +1

We show that the differential rotation profile of the solar convection zone, apart from inner and outer boundary layers, can be reproduced with great accu- racy if the isorotation…
