We consider graphs consisting of finitely many internal rays for degenerating Newton maps and state a convergence result. As an application, we prove that a hyperbolic component in the moduli space of quartic Newton maps is bounded if and only if every element has degree $2$ on the immediate basin of each root. This provides the first complete description of bounded hyperbolic components in a complex two-dimensional moduli space.

In this paper, we study the dynamics of the Newton maps for arbitrary polynomials. Let p be an arbitrary polynomial with at least three distinct roots, and f be its Newton map. It is shown that the boundary $\partial B$ of any immediate root basin B of f is locally connected. Moreover, $\partial B$ is a Jordan curve if and only if $\mathrm {deg}(f|_B)=2$ . This implies that the boundaries of all components of root basins, for the Newton maps for all polynomials, from the viewpoint of topology, are tame.
