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.
