Line-of-sight magnetograms from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) are analyzed using a diagnostic known as the Magnetic Range of Influence, or MRoI. The MRoI is a measure of the length over which a photospheric magnetogram is balanced and so its application gives the user a sense of the connective length scales in the outer solar atmosphere. The MRoI maps and histograms inferred from the SDO/HMI magnetograms primarily exhibit four scales: a scale of a few megameters that can be associated with granulation, a scale of a few tens of megameters that can be associated with super-granulation, a scale of many hundreds to thousands of megameters that can be associated with coronal holes and active regions, and a hitherto unnoticed scale that ranges from 100 to 250 megameters. We infer that this final scale is an imprint of the (rotationally-driven) giant convective scale on photospheric magnetism. This scale appears in MRoI maps as well-defined, spatially distributed, concentrations that we have dubbed g-nodes. Furthermore, using coronal observations from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on SDO, we see that the vicinity of these g-nodes appears to be a preferred location for the formation of extreme ultraviolet (EUV, and likely X-Ray) brightpoints. These observations and straightforward diagnostics offer the potential of a near-real-time mapping of the Suns largest convective scale, a scale that possibly reaches to the very bottom of the convective zone.
The present work reports on the discovery of three stars that we have identified to be rotating Sun-like stars, based on rotational modulation signatures inferred from light curves from the CoRoT missions Public Archives. In our analysis, we performe
White-light flares are magnetically driven localized brightenings on the surfaces of stars. Their temporal, spectral, and statistical properties present a treasury of physical information about stellar magnetic fields. The spatial distributions of ma
Advances in solar instrumentation have led to a widespread usage of time series to study the dynamics of solar features, specially at small spatial scales and at very fast cadences. Physical processes at such scales are determinant as building blocks
Global magnetic fields of active solar-like stars are nowadays routinely detected with spectropolarimetric measurements and are mapped with Zeeman-Doppler imaging (ZDI). However, due to the cancellation of opposite field polarities, polarimetry captu
When our Sun was young it rotated much more rapidly than now. Observations of young, rapidly rotating stars indicate that many possess substantial magnetic activity and strong axisymmetric magnetic fields. We conduct simulations of dynamo action in r
