Shedding light on the MRI driven dynamo in a stratified shearing box

Prasun Dhang, Abhijit Bendre, Kandaswamy Subramanian

We study the magneto-rotational instability (MRI) driven dynamo in a geometrically thin disc ($H/R\ll 1$) using stratified zero net flux (ZNF) shearing box simulations. We find tha…
