Abstract

A method of constructing asymptotic solutions for nonlinear mean-field dynamo equations near the excitation threshold is developed and applied to equations describing the solar dynamo in a Parker model. The form of solution obtained corresponds to the eigensolution for a kinematic dynamo, for the intensity of the generation sources at which self-excitation of the magnetic field begins (the so-called marginally stable eigenfunction). The wave amplitude is calculated.
