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 …

Colloquium: Unusual dynamics of convection in the Sun
J Schumacher, KR Sreenivasan - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 - APS
The Sun is our nearest star; it is also the most important star that determines life on Earth. A
large variety of phenomena observed on the Sun's surface, with potential impact on Earth, is …

The origin of the Moon within a terrestrial synestia
SJ Lock, ST Stewart, MI Petaev… - Journal of …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The giant impact hypothesis remains the leading theory for lunar origin. However, current
models struggle to explain the Moon's composition and isotopic similarity with Earth. Here …

Tidal dissipation in evolving low-mass and solar-type stars with predictions for planetary orbital decay
AJ Barker - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We study tidal dissipation in stars with masses in the range 0.1–1.6 M⊙ throughout their
evolution, including turbulent effective viscosity acting on equilibrium tides and inertial …

Connections between nonrotating, slowly rotating, and rapidly rotating turbulent convection transport scalings
In this paper, we investigate and develop scaling laws as a function of external
nondimensional control parameters for heat and momentum transport for nonrotating, slowly …

Approaching the asymptotic regime of rapidly rotating convection: boundary layers versus interior dynamics
Rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection is studied by combining results from direct
numerical simulations (DNS), laboratory experiments, and asymptotic modeling. The …

Simulations of solar and stellar dynamos and their theoretical interpretation
We review the state of the art of three dimensional numerical simulations of solar and stellar
dynamos. We summarize fundamental constraints of numerical modelling and the …

Slow convection and fast rotation in crystallization-driven white dwarf dynamos
S Ginzburg, J Fuller, A Kawka… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
It has been recently suggested that white dwarfs generate magnetic fields in a process
analogous to the Earth. The crystallization of the core creates a compositional inversion that …

Rotation suppresses giant-scale solar convection
The observational absence of giant convection cells near the Sun's outer surface is a long-
standing conundrum for solar modelers. We herein propose an explanation. Rotation …

Rotating convective turbulence in Earth and planetary cores
An accurate description of turbulent core convection is necessary in order to build robust
models of planetary core processes. Towards this end, we focus here on the physics of …
