Stellar Fluxes as Probes of Convection in Stellar Atmospheres [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 Convection and turbulence in stellar atmospheres have a significant effect on the emergent flux from late-type stars. The theoretical advancements in convection modelling over recent years have proved challenging for the observers to obtain measurements ...

Measuring the magnetic fields in the chromospheres of low-mass stars [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMagnetic fields in the upper atmospheres of solar-like stars are believed to provide an enormous amount of energy to power the hot coronae and drive large-scale eruptions that could impact the habitability of planetary systems around these stars. However,

Improving 1D Stellar Models with 3D Atmospheres [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 Stellar evolution codes play a major role in present-day astrophysics, yet they share common issues. In this work we seek to remedy some of those by the use of results from realistic and highly detailed 3D hydrodynamical simulations of stellar ...

Model atmospheres of sub-stellar mass objects
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 We present an outline of basic assumptions and governing structural equations describing atmospheres of substellar mass objects, in particular the extrasolar giant planets and brown dwarfs.

Stellar coronal mass ejections [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2022 Stellar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are a growing research field, especially during the past decade. The large number of so far detected exoplanets raises the open question for the CME activity of stars, as CMEs may strongly affect ...

Nonthermal Motions and Atmospheric Heating of Cool Stars
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The magnetic processes associated with the nonthermal broadening of optically thin emission lines appear to carry enough energy to heat the corona and accelerate the solar wind.
