The Global Solar Dynamo [PDF]

Space Science Reviews, 2016
A brief summary of the various observations and constraints that underlie solar dynamo research are presented. The arguments that indicate that the solar dynamo is an alpha-omega dynamo of the Babcock-Leighton type are then shortly reviewed. The main open questions that remain are concerned with the subsurface dynamics, including why sunspots emerge at

Predicting cycle 24 using various dynamo-based tools [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2008
Various dynamo-based techniques have been used to predict the mean solar cycle features, namely the amplitude and the timings of onset and peak. All methods use information from previous cycles, including particularly polar fields, drift-speed of the

Latitudinal and Hemispheric Responses of Solar Quiet Ionospheric Currents During Two Annular Solar Eclipses: Evidence From Low to Mid‐Latitude Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract A sudden drop in solar radiation during an annular (or total) eclipse directly affects ionospheric electrodynamics, primarily through the reduction of solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X‐ray flux, which are responsible for generating the ionospheric plasma.

Connecting mean-field theory with dynamo simulations

Living Reviews in Solar Physics
Mean-field dynamo theory, describing the evolution of large-scale magnetic fields, has been the mainstay of theoretical interpretation of magnetism in astrophysical objects such as the Sun for several decades.

Global Ionospheric TEC Variability: Long‐Term Spectral–Wavelet Analysis and Geomagnetic Storm Event Case Studies

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract This study investigates global ionospheric variability using Global Total Electron Content (GTEC), defined as the spatial average of daily averaged Global Ionospheric Maps derived from the International GNSS Service. The analysis spans from 2010 to 2024, covering Solar Cycle 24 and the rising phase of Solar Cycle 25, and incorporates ...

Modeling Ganymede's Surface Charging in Preparation for the JUICE Mission

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The European Space Agency's (ESA) JUICE mission (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) is en route to the Jovian system to characterize Ganymede's subsurface ocean. Determining the ocean's conductivity and depth requires precise measurements of its induced magnetic field at the position of JUICE.

Toroidal Magnetic Flux Budget in Mean-field Dynamo Model of Solar Cycles 23 and 24

The Astrophysical Journal
We study the toroidal magnetic flux budget of the axisymmetric part of a data-driven 3D mean-field dynamo model of Solar Cycles 23 and 24. The model simulates the global solar dynamo that includes the effects of the formation and evolution of bipolar ...

Constraining the outer boundary condition for the Babcock-Leighton dynamo models

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The evolution of the Sun’s large-scale surface magnetic field is well captured by surface flux transport models, which can therefore provide a natural constraint on the outer boundary condition (BC) of Babcock–Leighton (BL) dynamo models.

Differential Rotation and Magnetism in Simulations of Fully Convective Stars

, 2010
Stars of sufficiently low mass are convective throughout their interiors, and so do not possess an internal boundary layer akin to the solar tachocline.

Interior Models of Mercury and Conditions for Iron Snow Formation in a Fe‐S‐Si Core

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mercury's unique interior structure and magnetic field generation remain to be fully understood. We construct models to further constrain Mercury's interior and test the hypothesis that iron snow within the liquid core drives the dynamo.
