Meridional slices of the axisymmetric azimuthal and the s = r sin θ-component of the magnetic field (respective left and right slices) for increasing values of N/Ω_o at t = 5650 P_o, t = 7792 P_o, t = 2967 P_o, and t = 287 P_o, respectively, with P_o ≡ 2π/Ω_o. The magnetic field is scaled by $\sqrt{4\pi \rho r_o^2{\mathrm{\Omega }}_o^2}$. The hatched regions represent Tayler-stable zones defined by the geometrical criterion of Goossens & Tayler (1980, see the section on supplementary materials in Barrère et al. 2023).
