A computer simulation of the star AB Doradus where the starspots form along meridians of longitude and the polar zones are regions of sunspot and solar flare maximums. Does the Sun flip to such magnetic field structures during higher rotational phases and extremes of thermonuclear production, synchronously affecting the Earth’s geomagnetic field and atmospheric ionisation?
