Influence of surface stressing on stellar coronae and winds [PDF]
STFC funding has supported this research.The large-scale field of the Sun is well represented by its lowest energy (or potential) state. Recent observations, by comparison, reveal that many solar-type stars show large-scale surface magnetic fields that ...

On the topology of global coronal magnetic fields [PDF]
This thesis considers the magnetic topology of the global solar corona. To understand the magnetic topology we use the magnetic skeleton which provides us with a robust description of the magnetic field.

Aspects of three-dimensional MHD : magnetic reconnection and rotating coronae [PDF]
Solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are very important for modelling laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas, for example the solar and stellar coronae, as well as for modelling many of the dynamic processes that occur in these ...

Recent Measurements of Stellar Magnetic Fields [PDF]
High resolution, high S/N spectra have been successfully modeled to yield information on the magnetic properties of cool stars for some 15 years now. These analyses yield estimates of the intensity weighted surface filling factor of active regions, f, and the mean unsigned field strength in these regions), B.

Estimations and Scaling Laws for Stellar Magnetic Fields [PDF]
Abstract In rapidly rotating turbulence (i.e., a Rossby number much less than unity), the standard mixing length theory for turbulent convection breaks down. However, the Coriolis force enters the force balance such that the magnetic field eventually depends on rotation.

Constraints on Magnetic Braking from the G8 Dwarf Stars 61 UMa and τ Cet
During the first half of their main-sequence lifetimes, stars rapidly lose angular momentum to their magnetized winds, a process known as magnetic braking.

Core-envelope Decoupling Drives Radial Shear Dynamos in Cool Stars
Differential rotation is thought to be responsible for the dynamo process in stars like our Sun, driving magnetic activity and starspots. We report that starspot measurements in the Praesepe open cluster are strongly enhanced only for stars that depart ...
