Stellar Dynamo Theory

Stellar Dynamo Theory is a physical theory that explains the generation and maintenance of stellar magnetic fields through the conversion of kinetic energy from convective motions and differential rotation within a star’s interior into magnetic energy via magnetohydrodynamic processes.
