Solar and stellar photospheric abundances

open access: yesLiving 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.

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

open access: yes, 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.

Synthetic photometry for M and K giants and stellar evolution: hydrostatic dust-free model atmospheres and chemical abundances [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Based on a grid of hydrostatic spherical COMARCS models for cool stars, we have calculated observable properties of these objects, which will be mainly used in combination with stellar evolution tracks and population synthesis tools.

Using limb darkening to measure fundamental parameters of stars

open access: yes, 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

Ca line formation in late-type stellar atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2015
Context. Departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) distort the calcium abundance derived from stellar spectra in various ways, depending on the lines used and the stellar atmospheric parameters.

Center-to-limb polarization in continuum spectra of F, G, K stars

open access: yes, 2015
Context. Scattering and absorption processes in stellar atmosphere affect the center-to-limb variations of the intensity (CLVI) and the linear polarization (CLVP) of stellar radiation. Aims. There are several theoretical and observational studies of CLVI

Gravitational microlensing as a test of stellar model atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We present calculations illustrating the potential of gravitational microlensing to discriminate between classical models of stellar surface brightness profiles and the recently computed ``Next Generation'' models of Hauschildt et al.

Mg line formation in late-type stellar atmospheres - I. The model atom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Context. Magnesium is an element of significant astrophysical importance, often traced in late-type stars using lines of neutral magnesium, which is expected to be subject to departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE).

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

open access: yes, 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.

Non-LTE oxygen line formation in 3D hydrodynamic model stellar atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The O (Iota) 777 nm lines are among the most commonly used diagnostics for the oxygen abundances in the atmospheres of FGK-type stars. However, they form in conditions that are far from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE).
