Constraining the outer boundary condition for the Babcock-Leighton dynamo models
Yukun Luo, Jie Jiang, Binghang Li +2
The evolution of the Sun's large-scale surface magnetic field is well captured by surface flux transport models, which can therefore provide a natural constraint on the outer bound…
Minimal Roles of Solar Subsurface Meridional Flow in the distributed-shear Babcock-Leighton Dynamo
Jie Jiang, Zebin Zhang
The subsurface meridional flow has long been recognized as a critical factor in driving the solar cycle. Specifically, the equatorward return flow in the tachocline is widely belie…
Discriminating between Babcock-Leighton-type solar dynamo models by torsional oscillations
Congyi Zhong, Jie jiang, Zebin Zhang
The details of the dynamo process in the Sun are an important aspect of research in solar-terrestrial physics and astrophysics. The surface part of the dynamo can be constrained by…
Modeling effects of starspots on stellar magnetic cycles
Zebin Zhang, Jie Jiang, Leonid Kitchatinov
Observations show that faster-rotating stars tend to have stronger magnetic activity and shorter magnetic cycles. The cyclical magnetic activity of the Sun and stars is believed to…
