Convective Differential Rotation in Stars and Planets II: Observational and Numerical Tests
Adam S. Jermyn, Shashikumar M. Chitre, Pierre Lesaffre +1
Differential rotation is central to a great many mysteries in stars and planets. In Part I we predicted the order of magnitude and scaling of the differential rotation in both hydr…
Convective Differential Rotation in Stars and Planets I: Theory
Adam S. Jermyn, Shashikumar M. Chitre, Pierre Lesaffre +1
We derive the scaling of differential rotation in both slowly- and rapidly-rotating convection zones using order of magnitude methods. Our calculations apply across stars and fluid…
The Origin of the Bimodal Distribution of Magnetic Fields in Early-type Stars
Adam S. Jermyn, Matteo Cantiello
In early-type stars a fossil magnetic field may be generated during the star formation process or be the result of a stellar merger event. Surface magnetic fields are thought to be…
Multiphase Gas and the Fractal Nature of Radiative Turbulent Mixing Layers
Drummond B. Fielding, Eve C. Ostriker, Greg L. Bryan +1
A common situation in galactic and intergalactic gas involves cold dense gas in motion relative to hot diffuse gas. Kelvin-Helmholtz instability creates a turbulent mixing layer an…
Generalized Electron Hydrodynamics, Vorticity Coupling, and Hall Viscosity in Crystals
Georgios Varnavides, Adam S. Jermyn, Polina Anikeeva +2
Theoretical and experimental studies have revealed that electrons in condensed matter can behave hydrodynamically, exhibiting fluid phenomena such as Stokes flow and vortices. Unli…
Low-frequency variability in massive stars: Core generation or surface phenomenon?
Daniel Lecoanet, Matteo Cantiello, Eliot Quataert +6
Bowman et al. (2019) reported low-frequency photometric variability in 164 O- and B-type stars observed with K2 and TESS. They interpret these motions as internal gravity waves, wh…
