On the generation of magnetic fields in late-type stars - A local time-dependent dynamo model
Abstract
We assume that the magnetic field of late-type stars is generated in the lower part of the star's convection zone and study this generation mechanism with the help of local (in latitude) dynamo equations. For the spectral types GO, GS, KO, KS, MO, M2, and M5 we evaluate the magnetic field and period of the cycles as a function of rotation and compare them with the available observational data.
