On the magnetic topology of partially and fully convective stars
We compare the amount of magnetic flux measured in Stokes V and Stokes I in a sample of earlyand mid-M stars around the boundary to full convection (∼M3.5). Early-M stars possess a radiative core, mid-M stars are fully convective. While Stokes V is sensitive to the net polarity of magnetic flux arising mainly from large-scale configurations, Stokes I measurements can see the total mean flux. We...
متن کاملOn equilibrium tides in fully convective planets and stars
We consider the tidal interaction of a binary consisting of a fully convective primary star and a relatively compact mass. Using a normal mode decomposition we calculate the evolution of the primary angular velocity and orbit for arbitrary eccentricity. The dissipation acting on the tidal perturbation is assumed to result from the action of convective turbulence the effects of which are assumed...
متن کاملDynamo Action in Fully Convective Low-Mass Stars
Recent observations indicate that fully convective stars can effectively build magnetic fields without the aid of a tachocline of shear, that those fields can possess large-scale components, and that they may sense the effects of rotation. Motivated by these puzzles, we present global threedimensional simulations of convection and dynamo action in the interiors of fully convective Mdwarfs of 0....
متن کاملConvective and non-convective mixing in AGB stars
We review the current state of modeling convective mixing in AGB stars. The focus is on results obtained through multi-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of AGB convection, both in the envelope and the unstable He-shell. Using two different codes and a wide range of resolutions and modeling assumptions we find that mixing across convective boundaries is significant for He-shell flash convecti...
متن کاملOn the convective envelope of AGB stars
We discuss evolutionary computations investigating the efficiency of the convective ”drift” which should affect the location of the inner boundary of the convective envelope in cool giant stars. We find that the drift is at the work in structures undergoing the second dredge up, accelerating the sinking of the envelope into the inner He rich layers and producing smaller C-O cores at the onset o...
