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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sunspots and flares are both phenomena driven by the powerful magnetic fields the sun creates through its "differential rotation" (see if you can find a reason to drop that term into your ...

Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics have mapped the Sun's differential rotation using 100 years of data from the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory. They discovered that the Sun's ...

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 magnetic ...

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 ...

important applications has been to the determination of the velocity of the sun's rotation by the investigation ... employing the same differential method as Duner.

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 ...
