Understanding Active Region Emergence and Origins on the Sun and Other Cool Stars
Maria A. Weber, Hannah Schunker, Laurène Jouve +1
The emergence of active regions on the Sun is an integral feature of the solar dynamo mechanism. However, details about the generation of active-region-scale magnetism and the jour…
Dynamo Processes Constrained by Solar and Stellar Observations
Maria A. Weber
Our understanding of stellar dynamos has largely been driven by the phenomena we have observed of our own Sun. Yet, as we amass longer-term datasets for an increasing number of sta…
The Suppression and Promotion of Magnetic Flux Emergence in Fully Convective Stars
Maria A. Weber, Matthew K. Browning, Suzannah Boardman +3
Evidence of surface magnetism is now observed on an increasing number of cool stars. The detailed manner by which dynamo-generated magnetic fields giving rise to starspots traverse…
Modeling the Rise of Fibril Magnetic Fields in Fully Convective Stars
Maria A. Weber, Matthew K. Browning
Many fully convective stars exhibit a wide variety of surface magnetism, including starspots and chromospheric activity. The manner by which bundles of magnetic field traverse port…
Theoretical limits on magnetic field strengths in low-mass stars
Matthew K. Browning, Maria A. Weber, Gilles Chabrier +1
Observations have suggested that some low-mass stars have larger radii than predicted by 1-D structure models. Some theoretical models have invoked very strong interior magnetic fi…
Effects of Radiative Diffusion on Thin Flux Tubes in Turbulent Solar-like Convection
Maria A. Weber, Yuhong Fan
We study the combined effects of convection and radiative diffusion on the evolution of thin magnetic flux tubes in the solar interior. Radiative diffusion is the primary supplier…
A Theory on the Convective Origins of Active Longitudes on Solar-like Stars
Maria A. Weber, Yuhong Fan, Mark S. Miesch
Using a thin flux tube model in a rotating spherical shell of turbulent, solar-like convective flows, we find that the distribution of emerging flux tubes in our simulation is inho…
Comparing Simulations of Rising Flux Tubes Through the Solar Convection Zone with Observations of Solar Active Regions: Constraining the Dynamo Field Strength
Maria A. Weber, Yuhong Fan, Mark S. Miesch
We study how active-region-scale flux tubes rise buoyantly from the base of the convection zone to near the solar surface by embedding a thin flux tube model in a rotating spherica…
The Rise of Active Region Flux Tubes in the Turbulent Solar Convective Envelope
Maria A. Weber, Yuhong Fan, Mark S. Miesch
We use a thin flux tube model in a rotating spherical shell of turbulent convective flows to study how active region scale flux tubes rise buoyantly from the bottom of the convecti…
