The Sun’s differential rotation is controlled by high-latitude baroclinically unstable inertial modes. Science Advances , 2024; 10 (13) DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adk5643 Cite This Page : ...

The sun experiences something called differential rotation. This means that its rotation proceeds at different rates depending on where you look at the star. "Since the sun is a ball of gas/plasma ...

Scientists have measured the differential rotation on Sun-like stars for the first time, and their findings challenge current science on how stars rotate. Sun-like stars rotate up to two and a ...

One of the triumphs of helioseismology is to have mapped the Sun’s rotation as a function of depth and latitude (the solar differential rotation). In addition to the 5-minute oscillations, much longer ...

By analysing data from the Observatory, the team extracted the rotation period of these features at various latitudes. This revealed a clear picture of the Sun's differential rotation -- faster at ...

H. Dicke that the observed flattening of the Sun would account for part of the rotation of the orbit of Mercury otherwise attributable to general relativity. Roxburgh advanced arguments which ...

explains that the Sun has been the only star for which studying the rotational profile has been possible. – Stellar differential rotation is a very crucial factor that has an effect on the ...

Instead, they display differential rotation; some layers move at different speeds than others. For example, the sun rotates fastest at its equator, slower at increasing latitudes and slowest at ...

But unlike the earth, which has a rotation period of one day, the sun has a differential rotation. That is, all parts of the sun do not have the same period of rotation. The period of rotation ...

Abu Dhabi, September 20, 2018: Sun-like stars rotate up to two and ... which suggest that stars like these should not be able to sustain differential rotation of this magnitude," said Othman ...
