Dynamo simulations show non-dipolar magnetic field strengths are comparable across dipolar and non-dipolar regimes when scaled by driving power, while the dipole component is an order of magnitude weaker in the non-dipolar regime.

Stellar Wind Driven Alfv\'en Wing Dynamics in Planetary and Exoplanetary Magnetospheres
Systematic 3D resistive MHD simulations find that Alfvén wings narrow and close with higher stellar wind speeds, open with stronger stellar magnetic fields, and show linear scaling between magnetotail length and upstream forcing parameters.

A New Scaling Law for Non-Dipolar Magnetic Fields in Rapidly Rotating Stars and Planets
Dynamo simulations show non-dipolar magnetic field strengths are comparable across dipolar and non-dipolar regimes when scaled by driving power, while the dipole component is an order of magnitude weaker in the non-dipolar regime.
