A magnetohydrodynamic mechanism for the formation of solar polar vortices

M Dikpati, B Raphaldini, SW McIntosh… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - pnas.org
Polar vortices are ubiquitous features of planetary atmospheric flows, from the Earth-like
rocky planets to Jupiter-and Saturn-like gas giant planets. Very little is known about their …

Solar Inertial Modes

L Gizon, Y Bekki, AC Birch, RH Cameron… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - cambridge.org
The Sun's global inertial modes are very sensitive to the solar differential rotation and to
properties of the deep solar convection zone which are currently poorly constrained. These …

Wave topology of stellar inertial oscillations

A Leclerc, G Laibe, N Perez - arXiv preprint arXiv:2411.08457, 2024 - arxiv.org
Inertial waves in convective regions of stars exhibit topological properties linked to a Chern
number of 1. The first of these is a unique, unidirectional, prograde oscillation mode within …

Inversion for Inferring Solar Meridional Circulation: The Case with Constraints on Angular Momentum Transport inside the Sun

Y Hatta, H Hotta, T Sekii - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.12077, 2024 - arxiv.org
We have carried out inversions of travel times as measured by Gizon et al.(2020) to infer the
internal profile of the solar meridional circulation (MC). A linear inverse problem has been …

Simplified Model of the Solar Magnetic Field

IG Kosakovskij - The Astrophysical Journal, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
This paper considers a structure consisting of two rings of magnetic dipoles symmetrical
relative to the equatorial plane as a possible model for the source of the solar magnetic field …

A common law for the differential rotation of planets and stars

VGA Böning, J Wicht - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.13484, 2024 - arxiv.org
All planets and stars rotate. All gas planets in our solar system, the Sun, and many stars
show a pattern of east-or westward mean flows. This phenomenon is known as differential …

Doppler velocity of high-latitude inertial mode over the last five sunspot cycles

ZC Liang, L Gizon - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.06896, 2024 - arxiv.org
Among the identified solar inertial modes, the high-latitude mode with azimuthal order $ m=
1$(HL1) has the largest amplitude and plays a role in shaping the Sun's differential rotation …
