Plumes in stellar convection zones
All numerical simulations of compressible convection reveal the presence of strong downwards directed flows. Thanks to helioseismology, such plumes have now been detected also at the top of the solar convection zone, on supergranular scales. Their properties may be crudely described by adopting Taylor’s turbulent entrainment hypothesis, whose validity is well established under various condition...
متن کاملDifferential Rotation and Meridional Circulation in Global Models of Solar Convection
In the outer envelope of the Sun and in other stars, differential rotation and meridional circulation are maintained via the redistribution of momentum and energy by convective motions. In order to properly capture such processes in a numerical model, the correct spherical geometry is essential. In this paper I review recent insights into the maintenance of mean flows in the solar interior obta...

متن کاملRotation- and temperature-dependence of stellar latitudinal differential rotation
More than 600 high resolution spectra of stars of spectral type F and later have been obtained in order to search for signatures of differential rotation in line profiles. In 147 stars the rotation law could be measured; 28 of them are found to be differentially rotating. Comparison to rotation laws in stars of spectral type A reveals that differential rotation sets in at the convection boundar...
متن کاملStellar differential rotation from direct starspot tracking
On the Sun, the rotation periods of individual sunspots not only trace the latitude dependence of the surface rotation rate, but also provide clues as to the amount of subsurface fluid shear. In this paper we present the first measurements of stellar differential rotation made by tracking the rotation of individual starspots with sizes comparable to the largest sunspots. To achieve this we re-a...
