The internal rotation of the Sun

MJ Thompson, J Christensen-Dalsgaard… - Annual Review of …, 2003 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Helioseismology has transformed our knowledge of the Sun's rotation. Earlier
studies revealed the Sun's surface rotation, but now a detailed observational picture has …

Large-scale dynamics of the convection zone and tachocline

MS Miesch - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2005 - Springer
The past few decades have seen dramatic progress in our understanding of solar interior
dynamics, prompted by the relatively new science of helioseismology and increasingly …

Stellar turbulent convection: a self-consistent model

VM Canuto, I Goldman, I Mazzitelli - The Astrophysical Journal, 1996 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a self-consistent model for stellar turbulent convection that is similar in spirit to
the CM model (Canuto & Mazzitelli 1991) since it accounts for the full spectrum of the …

A comparison of differential rotation measurements–(invited review)

JG Beck - Solar physics, 2000 - Springer
Observers have long measured solar rotation with different techniques and obtained
different results. This paper compares differential rotation measurements from four …

[图书][B] The magnetic universe: geophysical and astrophysical dynamo theory

G Rüdiger, R Hollerbach - 2006 - books.google.com
Magnetism is one of the most pervasive features of the Universe, with planets, stars and
entire galaxies all having associated magnetic fields. All of these fields are generated by the …

Structure and evolution of giant cells in global models of solar convection

MS Miesch, AS Brun, ML DeRosa… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
The global scales of solar convection are studied through three-dimensional simulations of
compressible convection carried out in spherical shells of rotating fluid that extend from the …

Turbulence, magnetism, and shear in stellar interiors

MS Miesch, J Toomre - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2009 - annualreviews.org
Stars can be fascinating settings in which to study intricate couplings among convection,
rotation, magnetism, and shear, usually under distinctly nonlinear conditions that yield …

Conflict over the age of the Universe

M Bolte, CJ Hogan - Nature, 1995 - nature.com
The ages of the oldest stars in our Galaxy can be estimated by comparing stellar populations
in globular clusters to calibrated stellar models. The best data give cluster ages of about …

Astrophysical fluid dynamics via direct statistical simulation

SM Tobias, K Dagon, JB Marston - The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, we introduce the concept of direct statistical simulation for astrophysical flows.
This technique may be appropriate for problems in astrophysical fluids where the …
