On this page, you will find some movies of my present research at both CEA-Saclay, Service d'Astrophysique, France and JILA, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA, namely multidimensional models of Core Convection and Magnetism in Astars. This research is part of the European ERC project STARS2 STARS2's Web Site . Some models of rotating convection include magnetic fields (dynamo action).

Simulations of Core Convection with Magnetic Fields.
