5 The Sun s structure and rotation convection zone radiation zone tachocline Source: Schou et al Radiation zone rotates uniformly with a period of 27 days Convection zone rotates differentially, poles 30% slower than equator Thin interface ( 0.05R ) the tachocline Toby Wood & Michael McIntyre (DAMTP) The Sun s Internal Magnetic Field 3 / 14
6 The Sun s rotation Differential rotation in convection zone implies systematic long-range angular momentum transport Slow rotation at high latitudes must gyroscopically drive a poleward current Toby Wood & Michael McIntyre (DAMTP) The Sun s Internal Magnetic Field 4 / 14
7 The Sun s rotation Differential rotation in convection zone implies systematic long-range angular momentum transport Slow rotation at high latitudes must gyroscopically drive a poleward current, c.f.

8 The Sun s rotation Differential rotation in convection zone implies systematic long-range angular momentum transport Slow rotation at high latitudes must gyroscopically drive a poleward current, c.f. Orbital decay of satellites Accretion discs Poleward current leads to a meridional circulation Circulation burrows through convection zone, spreading differential rotation Toby Wood & Michael McIntyre (DAMTP) The Sun s Internal Magnetic Field 4 / 14
9 What stops the burrowing? Uniform rotation of radiation zone could be explained by global-scale primordial magnetic field, B (Walén 1946, Mestel & Weiss 1987) Toby Wood & Michael McIntyre (DAMTP) The Sun s Internal Magnetic Field 5 / 14
10 What stops the burrowing? Uniform rotation of radiation zone could be explained by global-scale primordial magnetic field, B (Walén 1946, Mestel & Weiss 1987) Non-uniform rotation produces torsional oscillation of the field with frequency field strength, B For a strong field ( 10 3 G) rapid oscillations are damped uniform rotation of each field line Ferraro s Law of Isorotation Toby Wood & Michael McIntyre (DAMTP) The Sun s Internal Magnetic Field 5 / 14

13 An internal magnetic field What prevents this field from diffusing into the convection zone? Meridional circulations within the tachocline could hold the interior field in advection diffusion balance (Gough & McIntyre 1998) Same circulations that spread differential rotation through the convection zone Toby Wood & Michael McIntyre (DAMTP) The Sun s Internal Magnetic Field 7 / 14
