| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A longstanding goal of solar interior physics is to self-consistently reproduce sunspots from magnetic fluxes generated in the solar interior. However, there is still a large gap between the dynamo theory in the interior and the active region formation theory at the surface. For bridging the gap between them, we conducted in this study a convective dynamo simulation in a strongly stratified atmosphere resembling the solar interior in Cartesian geometry. In addition to the large-scale dynamo which has physical properties similar to those in earlier weakly-stratified convective dynamo simulations (Masada & Sano 2014a,b), we found that large-scale structures of the vertical magnetic field are spontaneously organized in the convection zone surface only in cases with a strongly-stratified atmosphere (Masada & Sano 2016, ApJL). Additionally, we found the critical Rossby-number for successful large-scale dynamo is around Ro = 0.03 (Masada & Sano 2018 in prep.).
