In order to extend the abilities of the αΩ dynamo model to explain the observed regularities and anomalies of the solar magnetic activity, the negative buoyancy phenomenon and the magnetic quenching of the α effect were included in the model, as well as newest helioseismically determined inner rotation of the Sun were used. Magnetic buoyancy constrains the magnitude of toroidal field produced by the Ω effect near the bottom of the solar convection zone (SCZ). Therefore, we examined two “antibuoyancy” effects: i) macroscopic turbulent diamagnetism and ii) magnetic advection caused by vertical inhomogeneity of fluid density in the SCZ, which we call the ∇ρ effect. The Sun's rotation substantially modifies the ∇ρ effect. The reconstruction of the toroidal field was examined assuming the balance between mean‐field magnetic buoyancy, turbulent diamagnetism and the rotationally modified ∇ρ effect. It is shown that at high latitudes antibuoyancy effects block the magnetic fields in the deep layers of the SCZ, and so the most likely these deep‐rooted fields could not become apparent at the surface as sunspots. In the near‐equatorial region, however, the upward ∇ρ effect can facilitate magnetic fields of about 3000 – 4000 G to emerge through the surface at the sunspot belt. Allowance for the radial inhomogeneity of turbulent velocity in derivations of the helicity parameter resulted in a change of sign of the α effect from positive to negative in the northern hemisphere near the bottom of the SCZ. The change of sign is very important for direction of the Parker's dynamo‐waves propagation and for parity of excited magnetic fields. The period of the dynamo‐wave calculated with allowance for the magnetic quenching is about seven years, that agrees by order of magnitude with the observed mean duration of the sunspot cycles. Using the modern helioseismology data to define dynamo‐parameters, we conclude that north‐south asymmetry should exist in the meridional field. At low latitudes in deep layers of the SCZ, the αΩ dynamo excites most efficiency the dipolar mode of the meridional field. Meanwhile, in high‐latitude regions a quadrupolar mode dominates in the meridional field. The obtained configuration of the net meridional field is likely to explain the magnetic anomaly of polar fields (the apparent magnetic “monopole”) observed near the maxima of solar cycles.

The influence of the basic rotation on anisotropic and inhomogeneous turbulence is discussed in the context of differential rotation theory. An improved representation for the original turbulence leads to a Λ‐effect which complies with the results of 3D numerical simulations. The resulting rotation law and meridional flow agree well with both the surface observations (∂Ω/∂r < 0 and meridional flow towards the poles) and with the findings of helioseismology. The computed equatorward flow at the bottom of convection zone has an amplitude of about 10 m/s and may be significant for the solar dynamo. The depth of the meridional flow penetration into the radiative zone is proportional to ν0.5core, where νcore is the viscosity beneath the convection zone. The penetration is very small if the tachocline is laminar. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

The spectroscopic variability of Arcturus hints at cyclic activity cycle and differential rotation. This could provide a test of current theoretical models of solar and stellar dynamos. To examine the applicability of current models of the flux transport dynamo to Arcturus, we compute a mean‐field model for its internal rotation, meridional flow, and convective heat transport in the convective envelope. We then compare the conditions for dynamo action with those on the Sun. We find solar‐type surface rotation with about 1/10th of the shear found on the solar surface. The rotation rate increases monotonically with depth at all latitudes throughout the whole convection zone. In the lower part of the convection zone the horizontal shear vanishes and there is a strong radial gradient. The surface meridional flow has maximum speed of 170 m/s and is directed towards the equator at high and towards the poles at low latitudes. Turbulent magnetic diffusivity is of the order 1015–1016 cm2/s. The conditions on Arcturus are not favorable for a circulation‐dominated dynamo (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The property of inhomogeneous turbulence in conducting fluids to expel large‐scale magnetic fields in the direction of decreasing turbulence intensity is shown as important for the magnetic field dynamics near the base of a stellar convection zone. The downward diamagnetic pumping confines a fossil internal magnetic field in the radiative core so that the field geometry is appropriate for formation of the solar tachocline. For the stars of solar age, the diamagnetic confinement is efficient only if the ratio of turbulent magnetic diffusivity ηT of the convection zone to the (microscopic or turbulent) diffusivity ηin of the radiative interior is ηT/ηin ≥ 105. Confinement in younger stars requires larger ηT/ηin. The observation of persistent magnetic structures on young solar‐type stars can thus provide evidence for the nonexistence of tachoclines in stellar interiors and on the level of turbulence in radiative cores.

Flux-dominated solar dynamo models have demonstrated to reproduce the main features of the large scale solar magnetic cycle, however the use of a solar like differential rotation profile implies in the the formation of strong toroidal magnetic fields at high latitudes where they are not observed. In this work, we invoke the hypothesis of a thin-width tachocline in order to confine the high-latitude toroidal magnetic fields to a small area below the overshoot layer, thus avoiding its influence on a Babcock-Leighton type dynamo process. Our results favor a dynamo operating inside the convection zone with a tachocline that essentially works as a storage region when it coincides with the overshoot layer.

In light of new results, the one‐dimensional mean‐field dynamo model of Brandenburg & Käpylä (2007) with dynamical quenching and a nonlocal Babcock‐Leighton α effect is re‐examined for the solar dynamo. We extend the one‐dimensional model to include the effects of turbulent downward pumping (Kitchatinov & Olemskoy 2011), and to combine dynamical quenching with shear. We use both the conventional dynamical quenching model of Kleeorin & Ruzmaikin (1982) and the alternate one of Hubbard & Brandenburg (2011), and confirm that with varying levels of non‐locality in the α effect, and possibly shear as well, the saturation field strength can be independent of the magnetic Reynolds number.

Observations in polarized emission reveal the existence of large‐scale coherent magnetic fields in a wide range of spiral galaxies. Radio‐polarization data show that these fields are strongly inclined towards the radial direction, with pitch angles up to 35° and thus cannot be explained by differential rotation alone. Global dynamo models describe the generation of the radial magnetic field from the underlying turbulence via the so called α ‐effect. However, these global models still rely on crude assumptions about the small‐scale turbulence. To overcome these restrictions we perform fully dynamical MHD simulations of interstellar turbulence driven by supernova explosions. From our simulations we extract profiles of the contributing diagonal elements of the dynamo α ‐tensor as functions of galactic height. We also measure the coefficients describing vertical pumping and find that the ratio between these two effects has been overestimated in earlier analytical work, where dynamo action seemed impossible. In contradiction to these models based on isolated remnants we always find the pumping to be directed inward. In addition we observe that depends on whether clustering in terms of superbubbles is taken into account. Finally, we apply a test field method to derive a quantitative measure of the turbulent magnetic diffusivity which we determine to be ∼2 kpckms–1. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

We present a combined model for magnetic field generation and transport in cool stars with outer convection zones. The mean toroidal magnetic field, which is generated by a cyclic thin-layer α Ω dynamo at the bottom of the convection zone is taken to determine the emergence probability of magnetic flux tubes in the photosphere. Following the nonlinear rise of the unstable thin flux tubes, emergence latitudes and tilt angles of bipolar magnetic regions are determined. These quantities are put into a surface flux transport model, which simulates the surface evolution of magnetic flux under the effects of large-scale flows and turbulent diffusion. First results are discussed for the case of the Sun and for more rapidly rotating solar-type stars. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

A combination of diamagnetic pumping and a nonlocal α-effect of the Babcock–Leighton type in a solar dynamo model is shown to reproduce observations of solar magnetic activity. The period of the solar cycle can be reproduced without reducing magnetic diffusivity in the bulk of the convection zone below the standard mixing-length value of 1013?cm2?s?1. The simulated global fields are antisymmetric about the equator, and the toroidal-to-poloidal field ratio is about one thousand. However, the time–latitude diagrams of magnetic fields in the model without meridional flow differ from observations. Only when the meridional flow is included and the α-effect profile peaking at mid-latitudes is applied, can the observed butterfly diagrams be reproduced. 相似文献

Guided by the recent observational result that the meridional circulation of the Sun becomes weaker at the time of the sunspot
maximum, we have included a parametric quenching of the meridional circulation in solar dynamo models such that the meridional
circulation becomes weaker when the magnetic field at the base of the convection zone is stronger. We find that a flux transport
solar dynamo tends to become unstable on including this quenching of meridional circulation if the diffusivity in the convection
zone is less than about 2×1011 cm2 s−1. The quenching of α, however, has a stabilizing effect and it is possible to stabilize a dynamo with low diffusivity with sufficiently strong
α-quenching. For dynamo models with high diffusivity, the quenching of meridional circulation does not produce a large effect
and the dynamo remains stable. We present a solar-like solution from a dynamo model with diffusivity 2.8×1012 cm2 s−1 in which the quenching of meridional circulation makes the meridional circulation vary periodically with solar cycle as observed
and does not have any other significant effect on the dynamo. 相似文献

We present first results of three‐dimensional numerical simulations of the non‐magnetic solar chromosphere, computed with the radiation hydrodynamics code CO5BOLD. Acoustic waves which are excited at the top of the convection zone propagate upwards into the chromosphere where the waves steepen into shocks. The interaction of the waves leads to the formation of complex structures which evolve on short time scales. Consequently, the model chromosphere is highly dynamical, inhomogeneous, and thermally bifurcated. 相似文献

We present meridional flow measurements of the Sun using a novel helioseismic approach for analyzing SOHO/MDI data in order to push the current limits in radial depth. Analyzing three consecutive months of data during solar minimum, we find that the meridional flow is as expected poleward in the upper convection zone, turns equatorward at a depth of around 40 Mm (∼ 0.95 R⊙), and possibly changes direction again in the lower convection zone. This may indicate two meridional circulation cells in each hemisphere, one beneath the other. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

An attempt is made to infer the structure of the solar convection zone from observedp-mode frequencies of solar oscillations. The differential asymptotic inversion technique is used to find the sound speed in
the solar envelope. It is found that envelope models which use the Canuto-Mazzitelli (CM) formulation for calculating the
convective flux give significantly better agreement with observations than models constructed using the mixing length formalism.
This inference can be drawn from both the scaled frequency differences and the sound speed difference. The sound speed in
the CM envelope model is within 0.2% of that in the Sun except in the region withr > 0.99R
⊙. The envelope models are extended below the convection zone, to find some evidence for the gravitational settling of helium
beneath the base of the convection zone. It turns out that for models with a steep composition gradient below the convection
zone, the convection zone depth has to be increased by about 6 Mm in order to get agreement with helioseismic observations. 相似文献

The axisymmetric component of the large-scale solar magnetic fields has a pronounced poleward branch at higher latitudes. In order to clarify the origin of this branch we construct an axisymmetric model of the passive transport of the mean poloidal magnetic field in the convective zone, including meridional circulation, anisotropic diffusivity, turbulent pumping and density pumping. For realistic values of the transport coefficients we find that diffusivity is prevalent, and the latitudinal distribution of the field at the surface simply reflects the conditions at the bottom of the convective zone. Pumping effects concentrate the field to the bottom of the convective zone; a significant part of this pumping occurs in a shallow subsurface layer, normally not resolved in dynamo models. The phase delay of the surface poloidal field relative to the bottom poloidal field is found to be small. These results support the double dynamo wave models, may be compatible with some form of a mixed transport scenario, and exclude the passive transport theory for the origin of the polar branch. 相似文献

In this short paper we show that making turbulence two‐rather than three‐dimensional may increase the effective turbulent viscosity by about 40 %. Dimensionless hydrodynamical viscosity parameters up to αmax = 0.25 Mt2 may be obtained in this approach, which are in better agreement with the observational data on non‐stationary accretion than the values obtained in numerical simulations. However, the α ‐parameter values known from observations are still several times higher (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

Here, BV (RI)C broad band photometry and intermediate resolution spectroscopy in Hα region are presented for two rapidly rotating late‐type stars: EY Dra and V374 Peg. For a third rapid rotator, GSC 02038‐00293, intermediate resolution Hα spectroscopy and low resolution spectroscopy are used for spectral classification and stellar parameter investigation of this poorly known object. The low resolution spectrum of GSC 02038‐00293 clearly indicates that it is a K‐type star. Its intermediate resolution spectrum can be best fitted with a model with Teff = 4750 K and v sin i = 90 km s–1, indicating a very rapidly rotating mid‐K star. The Hα line strength is variable, indicating changing chromospheric emission on GSC 02038‐00293. In the case of EY Dra and V374 Peg, the stellar activity in the photosphere is investigated from the photometric observations, and in the chromosphere from the Hα line. The enhanced chromospheric emission in EY Dra correlates well with the location of the photospheric active regions, indicating that these features are spatially collocated. Hints of this behaviour are also seen in V374 Peg, but it cannot be confirmed from the current data. The photospheric activity patterns in EY Dra are stable during one observing run lasting several nights, whereas in V374 Peg large night‐tonight variations are seen. Two large flares, one in the Hα observations and one from the broadband photometry, and twelve smaller ones were detected in V374 Peg during the observations spanning nine nights. The energy of the photometrically detected largest flare is estimated to be 4.25 × 1031– 4.3 × 1032 erg, depending on the waveband. Comparing the activity patterns in these two stars, which are just below and above the mass limit of full convection, is crucial for understanding dynamo operation in stars with different internal structures (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

We present measurements of the solar meridional flow using time-distance analysis based on Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) data. In an attempt to detect the deep equatorward flow, which is believed to be a very small amplitude motion, we averaged time-difference measurements over a 15-year period and utilized both phase-velocity and high-m filtering techniques. These method seem to be capable of extending the meridional-flow measurements to the deep layers of the convection zone, down to 0.7?R ⊙. Typical uncertainties for most depths within ±?35° latitude are less than 0.03 s. At higher latitudes, the uncertainties are about 0.06 s. There is a significant abrupt decrease in the nature of the travel-time differences for measurements that probe the bottom of the convection zone. 相似文献

Gamma‐ray bursts (GRBs) are one of the most luminous events in the Universe. In addition, the Universe itself is almost transparent to γ ‐rays, making GRBs detectable up to very high redshifts. As a result, GRBs are very suitable to probe the cosmological parameters. This work shows the potential of long‐duration GRBs for measuring the cosmological parameters ΩM and ΩΛ by comparing the observed log N ‐log P distribution with the theoretical one. Provided that the GRBs rate and luminosity function are well determined, the best values and 1σ confidence intervals obtained are ΩM = 0.22+0.05–0.03 and ΩΛ = 1.06+0.05–0.10. Finally, a set of simulations show the ability of the method to measure ΩM and ΩΛ (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

We present a straightforward comparison of model calculations for the α-effect, helicities, and magnetic field line twist
in the solar convection zone with magnetic field observations at atmospheric levels. The model calculations are carried out
in a mixing-length approximation for the turbulence with a profile of the solar internal rotation rate obtained from helioseismic
inversions. The magnetic field data consist of photospheric vector magnetograms of 422 active regions for which spatially-averaged
values of the force-free twist parameter and of the current helicity density are calculated, which are then used to determine
latitudinal profiles of these quantities. The comparison of the model calculations with the observations suggests that the
observed twist and helicity are generated in the bulk of the convection zone, rather than in a layer close to the bottom.
This supports two-layer dynamo models where the large-scale toroidal field is generated by differential rotation in a thin
layer at the bottom while the α-effect is operating in the bulk of the convection zone. Our previous observational finding
was that the moduli of the twist factor and of the current helicity density increase rather steeply from zero at the equator
towards higher latitudes and attain a certain saturation at about 12 – 15∘. In our dynamo model with algebraic nonlinearity, the increase continues, however, to higher latitudes and is more gradual.
This could be due to the neglect of the coupling between small-scale and large-scale current and magnetic helicities and of
the latitudinal drift of the activity belts in the model. 相似文献

Helioseismic measurements indicate that the solar tachocline is very thin, its full thickness not exceeding 4% of the solar
radius. The mechanism that inhibits differential rotation to propagate from the convective zone to deeper into the radiative
zone is not known, though several propositions have been made. In this paper we demonstrate by numerical models and analytic
estimates that the tachocline can be confined to its observed thickness by a poloidal magnetic field B
p of about one kilogauss, penetrating below the convective zone and oscillating with a period of 22 years, if the tachocline
region is turbulent with a diffusivity of η∼1010 cm2 s−1 (for a turbulent magnetic Prandtl number of unity). We also show that a similar confinement may be produced for other pairs
of the parameter values (B
p, η). The assumption of the dynamo field penetrating into the tachocline is consistent whenever η≳109 cm2 s−1.
