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.
