Magnetism, dynamo action and the solar-stellar connection

AS Brun, MK Browning - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2017 - Springer
The Sun and other stars are magnetic: magnetism pervades their interiors and affects their
evolution in a variety of ways. In the Sun, both the fields themselves and their influence on …

Astrophysical magnetic fields and nonlinear dynamo theory

A Brandenburg, K Subramanian - Physics Reports, 2005 - Elsevier
The current understanding of astrophysical magnetic fields is reviewed, focusing on their
generation and maintenance by turbulence. In the astrophysical context this generation is …

D Müller, OCS Cyr, I Zouganelis, HR Gilbert… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Aims. Solar Orbiter, the first mission of ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015–2025 programme and a
mission of international collaboration between ESA and NASA, will explore the Sun and …

Improved age estimation for solar-type dwarfs using activity-rotation diagnostics

EE Mamajek, LA Hillenbrand - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
While the strong anticorrelation between chromospheric activity and age has led to the
common use of the Ca ii H and K emission index (R^{\prime} _ {\mathrm {HK}\,}= L …

On the rotational evolution of solar-and late-type stars, its magnetic origins, and the possibility of stellar gyrochronology

SA Barnes - The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a simple interpretation of the rotation period data for solar-and late-type stars.
The open cluster and Mount Wilson star observations suggest that rotating stars lie primarily …

Starspots: a key to the stellar dynamo

SV Berdyugina - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2005 - Springer
Magnetic activity similar to that of the Sun is observed on a variety of cool stars with external
convection envelopes. Stellar rotation coupled with convective motions generate strong …

Magnetic cycles and rotation periods of late-type stars from photometric time series

AS Mascareño, R Rebolo, JIG Hernández - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2016 - aanda.org
Aims. We investigate the photometric modulation induced by magnetic activity cycles and
study the relationship between rotation period and activity cycle (s) in late-type (FGKM) stars …

Starspots

KG Strassmeier - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2009 - Springer
Starspots are created by local magnetic fields on the surfaces of stars, just as sunspots.
Their fields are strong enough to suppress the overturning convective motion and thus block …

The solar dynamo

M Ossendrijver - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2003 - Springer
The solar dynamo continues to pose a challenge to observers and theoreticians.
Observations of the solar surface reveal a magnetic field with a complex, hierarchical …

Asteroseismology of solar-type stars

RA García, J Ballot - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2019 - Springer
Until the last few decades, investigations of stellar interiors had been restricted to theoretical
studies only constrained by observations of their global properties and external …
