Abstract
Modulation of cyclic magnetic activity associated with grand minima, as well as modulation associated with breaking of dipole or quadrupole symmetry, can be represented in low-order normal form equations. The behaviour found is robust and can be related to similar spatio-temporal patterns in mean field dynamo models.
