| Abstract: | Slowly rotating main-sequence stars with deep convective zones have activity cycles like the sun's. The solar cycle is aperiodic and modulated to give intervals of reduced activity. A simple sixth-order system, obtained by truncating the dynamo equations, has solutions that mimic this behavior. The transition to chaos is analyzed and the astrophysical significance of these results is discussed. |
