Description
Magnetic dynamos are known to operate in sun-like and fully convective stars. Our
conceptual models of dynamos produce predictions for stellar properties, among them
rotation and angular momentum evolution, the generation of magnetic fields,
non-thermal emission, and stellar activity cycles. I review the observational
evidence for magnetic dynamos in low-mass stars and collect arguments for specific
dynamo models.
