Effects of density stratification on Rossby waves in deep atmospheres

Catherine C. Blume, Bradley W. Hindman

Though Rossby waves have been observed on the Sun, their radial eigenfunctions remain a mystery. The prior theoretical work either considers quasi-2D systems, which do not apply to…

Diffusive Braking of Penetrative Convection in Stably-Stratified Fluids

Bradley W. Hindman, J. R. Fuentes

Mixing at the interface between a convection zone and an adjacent, stably-stratified layer plays a crucial role in shaping the structure and evolution of stars and planets. In this…

Evolution of Semi-convective Staircases in Rotating Flows: Consequences for Fuzzy Cores in Giant Planets

J. R. Fuentes, Bradley W. Hindman, Adrian E. Fraser +1

Recent observational constraints on the internal structure of Jupiter and Saturn suggest that these planets have ``fuzzy" cores, i.e., gradients of the concentration of heavy eleme…

Inertial Waves in a Nonlinear Simulation of the Sun's Convection Zone and Radiative Interior

Catherine C. Blume, Bradley W. Hindman, Loren I. Matilsky

Recent observations of Rossby waves and other more exotic forms of inertial oscillations in the Sun's convection zone have kindled the hope that such waves might be used as a seism…

Confinement of the Solar Tachocline by a Non-Axisymmetric Dynamo

Loren I. Matilsky, Nicholas H. Brummell, Bradley W. Hindman +1

We recently presented the first 3D numerical simulation of the solar interior for which tachocline confinement was achieved by a dynamo-generated magnetic field. In this followup s…

Dwindling Surface Cooling of a Rotating Jovian Planet Leads to a Convection Zone that Grows to a Finite Depth

Bradley W. Hindman, J. R. Fuentes

Recent measurements of Jupiter's gravitational field (by Juno) and seismology of Saturn's rings (by Cassini) strongly suggest that both planets have a stably-stratified core that s…
