Stellar dynamos - perspectives and challenges
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 November 2003
Abstract
In this paper the present status of theoretical understanding - mostlyrelying on mean-field dynamo models - of global magnetic activity oflate-type stars with convective envelopes is reviewed. The principlesof the mean-field dynamo theory are introduced, and a discussion onsome of the present-day problems and challenges is presented. Theremaining sections are devoted to discuss the current status of solarand stellar dynamo models.
