Magnetically controlled stellar differential rotation near the transition from solar to anti-solar profiles
Magnetically controlled stellar differential rotation near the transition from solar to anti-solar profiles
Late-type stars rotate differentially owing to anisotropic turbulence in their outer convection zones. The rotation is called solar-like (SL) when the equator rotates fastest and anti-solar (AS) otherwise. Hydrodynamic simulations show a transition from SL to AS rotation as the influence of rotation on convection is reduced, but the opposite …
