Abstract
The aim of the present study is to characterize the effect of the rotation rate in building magnetic field via dynamo action in solar-like stars. We use the code ASH to model the convective dynamo for solar-like stars at various rotation rates and hence Rossby numbers. We find that stable magnetic configuration without cycling evolution; with steady low latitude magnetic field wreaths are found for slowly rotating cases with large Rossby number. For models rotating faster with a low Rossby number, the convective dynamo shows a cycling activity, leading to systematic pole inversion. We also note that a topology change of the stellar magnetic field occurs going from a dipolar-like to a quadrupolar-like structure when the system magnetic energy drops during the cyclic activity, in good agreement with our star the Sun.
