The Sun and other stars are magnetic: magnetism pervades their interiors and affects their
evolution in a variety of ways. In the Sun, both the fields themselves and their influence on …

The current understanding of astrophysical magnetic fields is reviewed, focusing on their
generation and maintenance by turbulence. In the astrophysical context this generation is …

These lecture notes are based on a tutorial given in 2017 at a plasma physics winter school
in Les Houches. Their aim is to provide a self-contained graduate-student level introduction …

The Sun's magnetic field is the engine and energy source driving all phenomena collectively
defining solar activity, which in turn structures the whole heliosphere and significantly …

This paper reviews recent advances and current debates in modeling the solar cycle as a
hydromagnetic dynamo process. Emphasis is placed on (relatively) simple dynamo models …

It has been a prevailing picture that active regions on the solar surface originate from a
strong toroidal magnetic field stored in the overshoot region at the base of the solar …

The solar dynamo continues to pose a challenge to observers and theoreticians.
Observations of the solar surface reveal a magnetic field with a complex, hierarchical …

The magnetic dynamo cycle of the Sun features a distinct pattern: a propagating region of
sunspot emergence appears around 30° latitude and vanishes near the equator every 11 …

The operation of the solar global dynamo appears to involve many dynamical elements,
including the generation of fields by the intense turbulence of the deep convection zone, the …
