Dynamo action and magnetic buoyancy in convection simulations with vertical shear

G Guerrero, PJ Käpylä - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011 - aanda.org
Context. A hypothesis for sunspot formation is the buoyant emergence of magnetic flux tubes
created by the strong radial shear at the tachocline. In this scenario, the magnetic field has to …
