DescriptionEffect of magnetic field strength and geometry on the AS.jpg
English: Illustration of the effect of magnetic field strength and geometry on the AS for different values of the stellar rotation period (Top: Prot = 1d; Bottom: Prot = 30d d. The magnetic fields anchored to the star will exert a drag force over the stellar surface. A fast rotation will lead to winding up the magnetic field, which will be tighter as we increase the rotation. The AS is highly affected by the change in the surface geometry. The field of view of the visualizations is 243.7 R.
