The asymmetry of sunspot cycles and Waldmeier relations as due to nonlinear surface-shear shaped dynamo

open access: yes, 2011
The paper presents a study of a solar dynamo model operating in the bulk of the convection zone with the toroidal magnetic field flux concentrated in the subsurface rotational shear layer.

Production of Sunspots and Their Effects on the Corona and Solar Wind: Insights from a New 3D Flux-Transport Dynamo Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018
We present a three-dimensional numerical model for the generation and evolution of the magnetic field in the solar convection zone, in which sunspots are produced and contribute to the cyclic reversal of the large-scale magnetic field. We then assess the

Magnetic twist: a source and property of space weather

open access: yesJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2012
Aim: We present evidence for finite magnetic helicity density in the heliosphere and numerical models thereof, and relate it to the magnetic field properties of the dynamo in the solar convection zone.

Investigating Variations in Solar Differential Rotation by Helioseismology

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Helioseismic signatures of dynamo waves have recently been discovered in variations of the solar differential rotation, offering valuable insights into the type of dynamo mechanism operating in the solar convection zone. To characterize these variations,

Long-term solar activity and its implications to the heliosphere, geomagnetic activity, and the Earth’s climate

open access: yesJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2013
The Sun’s long-term magnetic variability is the primary driver of space climate. This variability is manifested not only in the long-observed and dramatic change of magnetic fields on the solar surface, but also in the changing solar radiative output ...

The Extended Solar Cycle: Muddying the Waters of Solar/Stellar Dynamo Modeling or Providing Crucial Observational Constraints?

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018
In 1844 Schwabe discovered that the number of sunspots increased and decreased over a period of about 11 years, that variation became known as the sunspot cycle.

Simulating the Solar Dynamo [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1993
Mean-field and direct simulations of the hydrodynamics and hydromagnetics of the solar convection zone are discussed with the ultimate aim to understand the generation of differential rotation and magnetic fields. Various arguments constraining the values of the various turbulent diffusion coefficients are presented.

Stellar Cycle Variability in Mount Wilson Stars and Dynamo Models: Rotation Rate and Dynamo Number Dependency

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Similar to the solar cycle, the magnetic cycles of other solar-type stars are also variable. How the variability of the stellar cycle changes with the rotation rate or the dynamo number is valuable information for understanding the stellar dynamo process.

Discriminating between Babcock–Leighton-type Solar Dynamo Models by Torsional Oscillations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The details of the dynamo process in the Sun are an important aspect of research in solar-terrestrial physics and astrophysics. The surface part of the dynamo can be constrained by direct observations, but the subsurface part lacks direct observational ...
