Trajectories of rising flux tubes in the convective envelope of a star of mass 1.0 M and age 500 Myr. The solid lines indicate paths for models assuming a Libbrecht & Morrow (1991) differential rotation law, while the dot‐dashed lines indicate paths for a model with "extreme" differential rotation, as discussed in the text. The trajectories are labeled by rotational velocity, and all begin at θ = 10°.
