Effect of radiative equilibrium on the photospheric angular velocity
Creators
Description
The photospheric angular velocity [co = w(r)] is evaluated in the range of optical depths 0.05 < r 0.8under the assumption of radiative equilibrium and vanishing von Zeipel currents. The angular velocity decreases outward, and significant pole-equator temperature differences develop The von Zeipel currents are estimated for the case of uniform rotation.
