Modulation and symmetry changes in stellar dynamos
Stellar dynamos are governed by non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs) which admit solutions with dipole, quadrupole or mixed symmetry (i.e. with different parities). These PDEs possess periodic solutions that describe magnetic cycles, and numerical studies reveal two different types of modulation. For modulations of Type 1 there are parity changes without significant changes of ampli...
متن کاملSolar and stellar dynamos – latest developments
Recent progress in the theory of solar and stellar dynamos is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the mean-field theory which tries to describe the collective behavior of the magnetic field. In order to understand solar and stellar activity, a quantitatively reliable theory is necessary. Much of the new developments center around magnetic helicity conservation which is seen to be importa...
متن کاملStellar dynamos with Ω × J effect
Context. The standard dynamo model for the solar and stellar magnetic fields is based on the αΩ mechanism, namely, an interplay between differential rotation (the Ω effect) and a mean electromotive force generated by helical turbulent convection flows (the α effect). There are, however, a number of problems with the α effect and αΩ dynamo models. Two of them are that, in the case of the Sun, th...
متن کاملMagnetic helicity in stellar dynamos: new numerical experiments
The theory of large scale dynamos is reviewed with particular emphasis on the magnetic helicity constraint in the presence of closed and open boundaries. In the presence of closed or periodic boundaries, helical dynamos respond to the helicity constraint by developing small scale separation in the kinematic regime, and by showing long time scales in the nonlinear regime where the scale separati...
متن کاملA Time Delay Model for Solar and Stellar Dynamos
Magnetohydrodynamic dynamos operating in stellar interiors produce the diverse range of magnetic activity observed in solar-like stars. Sophisticated dynamo models including realistic physics of convection zone flows and flux tube dynamics have been built for the Sun, for which appropriate observations exist to constrain such models. Nevertheless, significant differences exist in the physics th...
