The Rotation of the Solar Radiative zone
نویسنده
چکیده
Dynamical processes are progressively introduced in stellar evolution. In this framework, the Sun is a very specific case where both models and observations have been developed in parallel during the last decade in order to progress on our present insight of solar like stars. In this poster I show the recent progress done on both sides for the rotation of the radiative zone. The present knowledge of the solar rotation profile comes from the detection of acoustic and gravity modes with the instruments GOLF and MDI aboard SoHO. In parallel we study the sensitivity of the theoretical rotation profiles obtained with the CESAM code using different rotation history in the premainsequence.

Rotation of the Solar Convection Zone from Helioseismology
Helioseismology has provided very detailed inferences about rotation of the solar interior. Within the convection zone the rotation rate roughly shares the latitudinal variation seen in the surface differential rotation. The transition to the nearly uniformly rotating radiative interior takes place in a narrow tachocline, which is likely important to the operation of the solar magnetic cycle. T...
متن کاملHelioseismology and the Solar Interior Dynamics
The inversion of helioseismic modes leads to the sound velocity inside the Sun with a precision of about 0.1 per cent. Comparisons of solar models with the "seismic sun" represent powerful tools to test the physics: depth of the convection zone, equation of state, opacities, element diffusion processes and mixing inside the radiative zone. We now have evidence that microscopic diffusion (elemen...
متن کاملMagnetic confinement of the solar tachocline
Context. We study the physics of the solar tachocline (i.e. the thin transition layer between differential rotation in the convection zone and quasi uniform rotation in the radiative interior), and related MHD instabilities. Aims. We have performed 3-D MHD simulations of the solar radiative interior to check whether a fossil magnetic field is able to prevent the spread of the tachocline. Method...
متن کاملPropagation of a dynamo ®eld in the radiative interior of the Sun
AB S TRACT Large-scale magnetic ®elds are believed to play an important role in the radiative zone of the Sun, in particular in the dynamical processes in the transition region between the convective and radiative zones (the tachocline). Also, they are probably responsible for the observed uniform rotation of the radiative zone. In that respect, since it has been suggested that the solar dynamo...
متن کاملSolar Interior Rotation and its Variation
This article surveys the development of observational understanding of the interior rotation of the Sun and its temporal variation over approximately forty years, starting with the 1960s attempts to determine the solar core rotation from oblateness and proceeding through the development of helioseismology to the detailed modern picture of the internal rotation deduced from continuous helioseism...
