Strong horizontal photospheric magnetic field in a surface dynamo simulation
Context. Observations with the Hinode spectro-polarimeter have revealed strong horizontal internetwork magnetic fields in the quiet solar photosphere. Aims. We aim at interpreting the observations by means of results from numerical simulations. Methods. Radiative MHD simulations of dynamo action by near-surface convection are analyzed with respect to the relation between vertical and horizontal...

متن کاملA Vorticity-magnetic Field Dynamo Instability
We generalize the mean field magnetic dynamo to include local evolution of the mean vorticity in addition to the mean magnetic field. The coupled equations exhibit a general mean field dynamo instability that enables the transfer of turbulent energy to the magnetic field and vorticity on larger scales. The growth of the vorticity and magnetic field both require helical turbulence which can be s...
متن کاملPhotospheric magnetic field and chromospheric emission
We present a statistical analysis of network and internetwork properties in the photosphere and the chromosphere. For the first time we simultaneously observed (a) the four Stokes parameters of the photospheric iron line pair at 630.2 nm and (b) the intensity profile of the Ca H line at 396.8 nm. The vector magnetic field was inferred from the inversion of the iron lines. We aim at an understan...
متن کاملDynamo Theory and Earth’s Magnetic Field
The Earth’s magnetic field belongs in that class of physical phenomena which are commonplace yet also very complex. It is commonplace in that almost everyone knows that it exists, yet not very many people (probably including a good percentage of physicists) know how it works. The theory behind the generation of a magnetic field, known as dynamo theory, is still an active area of research. The e...
