New Theoretical Model accounts for Sun’s Rotation and Magnetic Field

The model developed by the scientists includes the history of the rotation of the sun but also the magnetic instabilities that it generates. (c) Sylvia Ekström / UNIGE

In the early 2000s, a new set of data revised the chemical abundances at the surface of the sun, contradicting the values predicted by the standard models used by astrophysicists. Often challenged, these new abundances made it through several new analyses. As they seemed to prove correct, it was thus up to the solar models to adapt, especially since they serve as a reference for the study of stars in general...
