On Convective Turnover Times and Dynamos in Low-mass Stars by Seth Gossage, Rocio Kiman, Kristina Monsch, Amber A. Medina, Jeremy J. Drake, Cecilia Garraffo, Yuxi(Lucy) Lu, Joshua D. Wing, Nicholas J. Wright

“…In doing so, we find a sharp rise in the convective turnover time for stars in the mass range of 0.35−0.4 M _⊙ , associated with the onset of a fully convective internal stellar structure. Using MESA stellar evolution models, we infer the location of dynamo action implied by the empirical convective turnover time. …”
