Journal ArticleDOI

Gravity darkening in rotating stars

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a simple model that can describe the latitudinal variations in the flux of rotating stars at any rotation rate, assuming that the energy flux is a divergence-free vector that is antiparallel to the effective gravity.
Journal ArticleDOI

CoRoT measures solar-like oscillations and granulation in stars hotter than the Sun.

TL;DR: The CoRoT (Convection Rotation and Planetary Transits) satellite, launched in December 2006, has now measured oscillations and the stellar granulation signature in three main sequence stars that are noticeably hotter than the sun as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic structures in a dynamo simulation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use three-dimensional simulations to study compressible convection in a rotating frame with magnetic fields and overshoot into surrounding stable layers, showing that the magnetic energy spectrum has a short inertial range with a slope compatible with k + 1/3 during the early growth phase of the dynamo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamo action in stratified convection with overshoot

TL;DR: In this article, direct simulations of turbulent compressible hydromagnetic convection above a stable overshoot layer are presented, where spontaneous dynamo action occurs followed by saturation, with most of the generated magnetic field appearing as coherent flux tubes in the vicinity of strong downdrafts, where both the generation and destruction of magnetic field is most vigorous.
