"The differential rotation ultimately creates twists and loops into the local magnetic field, and they store magnetic energy. "When this energy is released, eruptions occur.

The Sun's differential rotation pattern has puzzled scientists for decades: while the poles rotate with a period of approximately 34 days, mid-latitudes rotate faster and the equatorial region ...

Other factors are at play in differential rotation, such as the mass of a star, its age, composition, rotational period (the time it takes to fully revolve), and even its magnetic field.

The stellar rotation is not constant for all latitudes -- an effect known as differential rotation. It is caused by the fact that hot plasma rises to the star's surface via a phenomenon called ...

As a ball of ultra-hot gas, how does the sun rotate? This complex form of rotation drives some fascinating phenomena.

Scientists say they’ve confirmed Earth’s inner core has been slowing down. Here’s what it could mean — and why the topic has been the subject of fierce debate.

Long-period oscillations control the Sun’s differential rotation High-latitude long-period oscillations provide a feedback mechanism that limits the Sun’s pole-to-equator differential rotation.

Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics have mapped the Sun's differential rotation using 100 years of data from the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory.

A few weeks ago, Dr I. W. Roxburgh questioned an earlier argument by Professor R. H. Dicke that the observed flattening of the Sun would account for part of the rotation of the orbit of Mercury ...

Astronomers from the University of Helsinki have found that the rotational profile of a nearby star, V889 Herculis, differs considerably from that of the Sun. The observation provides insights into ...
