Here, by carrying out a series of simulations of stellar magnetic fields, Antoine Strugarek and colleagues show that the Sun's magnetic cycle depends on its rotation rate and luminosity. (sciencedaily.com)
Studying that field should help researchers gain a much better understanding of the internal dynamics that produce stellar magnetic fields, which in our sun's case can influence everything from climate to satellite orbits to telecommunications. (sciencemag.org)
He pioneered several means of directly measuring stellar magnetic fields, and has studied their evolution and role in the angular momentum history of stars and brown dwarfs. (kavliprize.org)
