Modeling the Rise of Fibril Magnetic Fields in Fully Convective Stars (Dataset and Additional Visualizations)

Abstract

This repository contains selected output and visualizations from the work presented in Weber & Browning, 2016 (WB16), now published in The Astrophysical Journal. The work investigates how individual flux tubes in a fully convective 0.3 solar-mass star might rise under the combined influence of buoyancy, convection, and differential rotation. Items B, C, and D are derived from the work published in WB16, but were not included in the article. Images and movies were produced by VAPOR (www.vapor.ucar.edu), a product of the Computational Information Systems Laboratory at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (Boulder, Colorado, USA).
