Abstract
Abstract Magnetic fields have now been asteroseismically measured in the cores of many red giants. However, most interpretations of these measurements assume that the magnetic field is far below the critical field strength known to be exceeded by red giants exhibiting gravity-mode suppression. A recent method based on the traditional approximation of rotation and magnetism accurately predicts mode frequencies under fields up to this critical value by modeling gravity waves as individual magnetogravity “polarizations” which propagate through a waveguide-like mode cavity. So far, this formalism has been limited to magnetic fields which are axisymmetric about the rotation axis. In this study, we extend this approach by calculating the polarizations of magnetogravity waves under arbitrarily shaped magnetic fields under potentially rapid rotation. We consider the special cases of a dipolar magnetic field misaligned with the rotation axis as well as a dipole-plus-quadrupole magnetic field with no rotational symmetry. We show that non-axisymmetric field configurations can induce avoided crossings between polarizations, and that waves in such systems can convert between magnetogravity polarizations as they propagate, especially when the magnetic field strength is locally below a stratification-dependent threshold value. This threshold is distinct from the critical field strength for gravity-mode suppression, and is instead similar to the magnetic field strength at which perturbation theory breaks down.
