Journal ArticleDOI
The Maunder Minimum
TL;DR: In the years around a sunspot maximum there is seldom a day when a number of spots cannot be seen, and often hundreds are present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astrophysical magnetic fields and nonlinear dynamo theory
TL;DR: The current understanding of astrophysical magnetic fields is reviewed in this paper, focusing on their generation and maintenance by turbulence, where analytical and numerical results are discussed both for small scale dynamos, which are completely isotropic, and for large scale dynamo, where some form of parity breaking is crucial.

Dynamo action by differential rotation in a stably stratified stellar interior
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamo model is developed from these ingredients, and applied to the problem of angular momentum transport in stellar interiors, which is found to be more effective in transporting angular momentum than the known hydrodynamic mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamo Models of the Solar Cycle
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of increasingly complex dynamo models are constructed, with the primary aim of reproducing the various basic observed characteristics of the solar magnetic activity cycle, and global and local magnetohydrodynamcial simulations of solar convection, and dynamo action therein, are also considered.

A Babcock-Leighton Flux Transport Dynamo with Solar-like Differential Rotation
Mausumi Dikpati,P. Charbonneau +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the properties of a kinematic -ux transport solar dynamo model, which is characterised by a solar-like internal diUerential rotation, a single-cell meridional -ow in the convective envelope that is directed poleward at the surface, and a magnetic diUusivity that is constant within the envelope but decreases sharply at the core-envelope interface.
