Nature of Intense Magnetism and Differential Rotation in Convective Dynamos of M-dwarf Stars with Tachoclines

Many of the M-dwarf stars, though they are tiny and dim, are observed to possess strong surface magnetic fields and exhibit remarkably intense flaring. Such magnetism may severely impact habitability on the exoplanets now discovered nearby. The origin of the magnetism must rest with dynamo action ac...
