The details of the dynamo process that is responsible for driving the solar magnetic activity cycle are still not fully understood. In particular, while differential rotation provides a plausible mechanism for the regeneration of the toroidal (azimut...

Recent work suggests that inwardly propagating internal gravity waves (IGWs) within a star can be fully converted to outward magnetic waves if they encounter a sufficiently strong magnetic field. The resulting magnetic waves dissipate as they propaga... Read More about An Efficient Tidal Dissipation Mechanism via Stellar Magnetic Fields.
