The α effect with imposed and dynamo-generated magnetic fields
Estimates for the non-linear α effect in helical turbulence with an applied magnetic field are presented using two different approaches: the imposed-field method where the electromotive force owing to the applied field is used, and the test-field method where separate evolution equations are solved for a set of different test fields. Both approaches agree for stronger fields, but there are appa...
متن کاملMagnetic flux concentrations from dynamo-generated fields
Context. The mean-field theory of magnetized stellar convection gives rise to two distinct instabilities: the large-scale dynamo instability, operating in the bulk of the convection zone and a negative effective magnetic pressure instability (NEMPI) operating in the strongly stratified surface layers. The latter might be important in connection with magnetic spot formation. However, as follows ...
متن کاملDynamo generated toroidal magnetic fields in rapidly rotating stars
Aims. Results presented in the recent observational paper by Petit et al. (2008) suggest that, for solar-like stars, the large-scale surface toroidal fields become strong for rotational periods less than about 12d. We discuss this observation in the context of stellar dynamo theory, as a manifestation of a bifurcation in dynamo regimes occurring around this rotation period. Methods. Working in ...
متن کاملAstrophysical magnetic fields and nonlinear dynamo theory
The current understanding of astrophysical magnetic fields is reviewed with particular emphasis on nonlinear dynamo theory. Analytic and numerical results are discussed both for small scale dynamos, where helicity is unimportant, and for large scale dynamos, where kinetic helicity is crucial. Large scale dynamos produce small scale magnetic helicity as a waste product that quenches the large sc...
