Simulations of Core Convection Dynamos in Rotating A-type Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
We have conducted preliminary numerical simulations of a core convection dynamo operating within an A-type star of two solar masses. Convection within the core clearly can admit magnetic dynamo action. Magnetic field strengths in our three-dimensional simulations grow by many orders of magnitude, from an initial seed field to kilo-Gauss levels. We discuss the differential rotation and magnetic field sustained in our simulations.
