Nonzero azimuthal magnetic fields at the solar source surface: Extraction, model, and implications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the treatment of the Sun's magnetic field in comparison with previous models to allow a nonzero intrinsic azimuthal component Bϕ at the solar source surface, in addition to the radial component Br.

Solar Angular Momentum Loss Over the Past Several Millennia

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used near-Earth measurements of the solar wind plasma and magnetic field to calculate the torque on the Sun throughout the space age, and reconstructions of solar open magnetic flux were used to estimate the time-varying braking torque during the last nine millennia.

BAFFLES: Bayesian Ages for Field Lower-Mass Stars

TL;DR: In this paper, a Bayesian framework, BAFFLES, was developed to produce the age posterior for a star from its calcium emission strength or lithium abundance (Li EW) and $B-V$ color.

Study of the solar Slow Sonic, Alfvén and Fast Magnetosonic transition surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the shape, extend and time variations of the solar wind transition surfaces using the Lima and Priest (1993) hydrodynamic model adequately adapted for the case of solar wind flow were studied.

Magnetohydrodynamic jets and winds from accretion disks

H. C. Spruit
TL;DR: The theory of magnetically accelerated outflows and jets from accretion disks is reviewed at an introductory level, with special attention to problem areas like the launching conditions of the flow at the disk surface, stability of the magnetic field, and collimation mechanisms as discussed by the authors.
