Investigation of the helicity of magnetic fields on the Sun within the Parker dynamo model

2010 
Construction of the butterfly diagrams for the magnetic helicity in several approximations of a Parker dynamo has been carried out. The diagrams are constructed both for the cases of efficient generation of the magnetic field (large dynamo numbers) and for the weak generation (a small dynamo number). The corresponding asymptotic solution to the solar dynamo is used in the first case. The butterfly diagrams for different values of the meridional circulation were studied due to this solution. The butterfly diagrams are constructed and based on the few-mode approximation, which is valid for moderate dynamo numbers. The issue of which butterfly diagram features are common in all these approximations and can be compared with observational data is discussed.
