Density profiles as functions of radius from MHDr1, MHDr2, and MHDr2* (top). Temperature profiles for the same runs (middle). Specific entropy profiles from the same runs (bottom). The black dashed line indicates the surface of the convective core (r = 0.2R) and the grey dashed line the stellar surface (r = R). The quantities are time-averaged over the thermally relaxed phase.
