Description

We would like to introduce a robust but still under work method to probe the existence of flux tubes in low mass stars. This method is based on the ability of numerical simulations to predict a magnetic-field--rotation relation for solar-like stars. Thanks to the observations compiled up to the present day, this theoretical relation can be compared with the corresponding observed relation. Investigating and developing such a method could help disregarding or confirming the the rise of magnetic flux-tubes from a tachocline.
