Star-in-a-box simulations of fully convective stars
Star-in-a-box simulations of fully convective stars
Context. Main-sequence late-type stars with masses of less than 0.35 M ⊙ are fully convective. Aims. The goal is to study convection, differential rotation, and dynamos as functions of rotation in fully convective stars. Methods. Three-dimensional hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulations with a star-in-a-box model, in which a spherical star …
