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 …

Dynamo theories

F Rincon - Journal of Plasma Physics, 2019 - cambridge.org
These lecture notes are based on a tutorial given in 2017 at a plasma physics winter school
in Les Houches. Their aim is to provide a self-contained graduate-student level introduction …

Scaling properties of convection-driven dynamos in rotating spherical shells and application to planetary magnetic fields

UR Christensen, J Aubert - Geophysical Journal International, 2006 - academic.oup.com
We study numerically an extensive set of dynamo models in rotating spherical shells,
varying all relevant control parameters by at least two orders of magnitude. Convection is …

Accretion disc viscosity: how big is alpha?

AR King, JE Pringle, M Livio - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2007 - academic.oup.com
We consider observational and theoretical estimates of the accretion disc viscosity
parameter α. We find that in thin, fully ionized discs, the best observational evidence …

On the genesis of the Earth's magnetism

PH Roberts, EM King - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Few areas of geophysics are today progressing as rapidly as basic geomagnetism, which
seeks to understand the origin of the Earth's magnetism. Data about the present …

Simulations of dynamo action in fully convective stars

MK Browning - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We present three-dimensional nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the interiors
of fully convective M dwarfs. Our models consider 0.3 solar-mass stars using the Anelastic …

The solar magnetic field

SK Solanki, B Inhester… - Reports on progress in …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
The magnetic field of the Sun is the underlying cause of the many diverse phenomena
combined under the heading of solar activity. Here we describe the magnetic field as it …

The turbulent dynamo

SM Tobias - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
The generation of a magnetic field in an electrically conducting fluid generally involves the
complicated nonlinear interaction of flow turbulence, rotation and field. This dynamo process …

Disk winds, jets, and outflows: theoretical and computational foundations

RE Pudritz, R Ouyed, C Fendt… - arXiv preprint astro-ph …, 2006 - arxiv.org
We review advances in the theoretical and computational studies of disk winds, jets and
outflows including: the connection between accretion and jets, the launch of jets from …
