Stars in the age of micro-arc-second astrometry [PDF]

, 2007
The understanding and modeling of the structure and evolution of stars is based on statistical physics as well as on hydrodynamics. Today, a precise identification and proper description of the physical processes at work in stellar interiors are still ...

Improvements to Stellar Structure Models, Based on a Grid of 3D Convection Simulations. I. $T(\tau)$-Relations [PDF]

, 2014
Relations between temperature, T, and optical depth, tau, are often used for describing the photospheric transition from optically thick to optically thin in stellar structure models.

Spectral Evolution Models for the Next Decade [PDF]

, 2009
Spectral evolution models are a widely used tool for determining the stellar content of galaxies. I provide a review of the latest developments in stellar atmosphere and evolution models, with an emphasis on massive stars.

2D MODELLING OF THE GAS FLOW STRUCTURE IN THE SYMBIOTIC STAR Z ANDROMEDAE

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
The 2D gasdynamical simulations of gas structure in the symbiotic star Z And have been carried out for different stellar wind regimes. Since the mechanisms of gas acceleration in stellar atmospheres are not well studied, the parametric representation of ...

Dimension in a Radiative Stellar Atmosphere [PDF]

General Relativity and Gravitation, 2001
Dimensional scales are examined in an extended 3+1 Vaidya atmosphere surrounding a Schwarzschild source. At one scale, the Vaidya null fluid vanishes and the spacetime contains only a single spherical 2-surface. Both of these behaviors can be addressed by including higher dimensions in the spacetime metric.

Using limb darkening to measure fundamental parameters of stars

, 2012
Context. Limb darkening is an important tool for understanding stellar atmospheres, but most observations measuring limb darkening assume various parameterizations that yield no significant information about the structure of stellar atmospheres. Aims. We

Stellar abundance analyses in the light of 3D hydrodynamical model atmospheres [PDF]

, 2003
I describe recent progress in terms of 3D hydrodynamical model atmospheres and 3D line formation and their applications to stellar abundance analyses of late-type stars.

Solar and stellar photospheric abundances

Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2016
The determination of photospheric abundances in late-type stars from spectroscopic observations is a well-established field, built on solid theoretical foundations.

Statistical Signatures of Nanoflare Activity. III. Evidence of Enhanced Nanoflaring Rates in Fully Convective stars as Observed by the NGTS

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Previous examinations of fully convective M-dwarf stars have highlighted enhanced rates of nanoflare activity on these distant stellar sources. However, the specific role the convective boundary, which is believed to be present for spectral types earlier

Three-dimensional simulations of near-surface convection in main-sequence stars - II. Properties of granulation and spectral lines

, 2013
The atmospheres of cool main-sequence stars are structured by convective flows from the convective envelope that penetrate the optically thin layers and lead to structuring of the stellar atmospheres analogous to solar granulation.
