A Theoretical Investigation on Stellar Magnetic Activity in AB Dor

Following our previous theoretical works on advection-dominated solar
dynamo, we study the onset and topology of cyclic magnetic activity in
stars different from the Sun.In detail, we are interested to the
determination of cycle periods, production of butterfly diagrams and
study of the sign of the current helicity as a function of the dynamo
number, with both poleward and equatorward meridional circulation.  In
particular, we apply our investigation to the case of the fast
rotating star AB Dor.
