Dynamo models of the solar cycle

P Charbonneau - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2020 - Springer
This paper reviews recent advances and current debates in modeling the solar cycle as a
hydromagnetic dynamo process. Emphasis is placed on (relatively) simple dynamo models …

A combined analysis of the observational aspects of the quasi-biennial oscillation in solar magnetic activity

G Bazilevskaya, AM Broomhall, Y Elsworth… - Space Science …, 2014 - Springer
Solar quasi-biennial oscillations (QBOs) with the time scale of 0.6–4 yrs appear to be a basic
feature of the Sun's activity. Observational aspects of QBOs are reviewed on the basis of …

The solar magnetic activity band interaction and instabilities that shape quasi-periodic variability

SW McIntosh, RJ Leamon, LD Krista, AM Title… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Solar magnetism displays a host of variational timescales of which the enigmatic 11-year
sunspot cycle is most prominent. Recent work has demonstrated that the sunspot cycle can …

The origin of the “seasons” in space weather

M Dikpati, PS Cally, SW McIntosh, E Heifetz - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
Powerful 'space weather'events caused by solar activity pose serious risks to human health,
safety, economic activity and national security. Spikes in deaths due to heart attacks, strokes …

Tidally forced planetary waves in the tachocline of solar-like stars

GM Horstmann, G Mamatsashvili… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Can atmospheric waves in planet-hosting solar-like stars substantially resonate to tidal
forcing, perhaps at a level of impacting the space weather or even being dynamo-relevant …

Space weather challenge and forecasting implications of Rossby waves

M Dikpati, SW McIntosh - Space Weather, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Rossby waves arise in thin layers within fluid regions of stars and planets. These global
wave‐like patterns occur due to the variation in Coriolis forces with latitude. In the past …

Equatorial magnetohydrodynamic shallow water waves in the solar tachocline

T Zaqarashvili - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The influence of a toroidal magnetic field on the dynamics of shallow water waves in the
solar tachocline is studied. A sub-adiabatic temperature gradient in the upper overshoot …

Temporal evolution and correlations of optical activity indicators measured in Sun-as-a-star observations

J Maldonado, DF Phillips, X Dumusque… - Astronomy & …, 2019 - aanda.org
Context. Understanding stellar activity in solar-type stars is crucial for the physics of stellar
atmospheres as well as for ongoing exoplanet programmes. Aims. We aim to test how well …

A study of the hemispheric asymmetry of sunspot area during solar cycles 23 and 24

P Chowdhury, DP Choudhary… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Solar activity indices vary over the Sun's disk, and various activity parameters are not
considered to be symmetric between the northern and southern hemispheres of the Sun …

Role of interaction between magnetic Rossby waves and tachocline differential rotation in producing solar seasons

M Dikpati, SW McIntosh, G Bothun… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic shallow-water model for the solar tachocline
(MHD-SWT) that generates quasi-periodic tachocline nonlinear oscillations (TNOs) that can …
