Abstract: Context.Planetary dynamo research is mathematically and numerically difficult. Forward calculations are numerically expensive and subject to much uncertainty in key magnetohydrodynamics parameters. For a gaseous planet such as Saturn, even the precise location of its… read more here.

Abstract: Strong field dynamos can explain magnetar formation consistently with the millisecond magnetar model for extreme explosions. The release of spin-down energy by a magnetar is a promising scenario to power several classes of extreme explosive… read more here.
