Stellar Chromospheres [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1980
Important progress in our understanding of stellar chromospheres has occurred in the past few years as a result of new observations, developments in spectral line formation theory, and the application of that theory to the construction of detailed model chromospheres.

Stellar Chromospheric Activity [PDF]

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Solar Physics, 2008
The Sun, stars similar to it, and many rather dissimilar to it, have chromospheres, regions classically viewed as lying above the brilliant photosphere and characterized by a positive temperature gradient and a marked departure from radiative equilibrium.

Stellar model chromospheres. IX - Chromospheric activity in dwarf stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1979
High-resolution Ca II K line profiles are used to model the upper photospheres and lower chromospheres of eight main-sequence stars ranging in spectral type from F0 to M0 and exhibiting different degrees of chromospheric activity. The model chromospheres are studied as a function of spectral type and activity for stars of similar spectral type in order

Stellar Chromospheric Variability [PDF]

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
Cool stars with convective envelopes of spectral types F and later tend to exhibit magnetic activity throughout their atmospheres. The presence of strong and variable magnetic fields is evidenced by photospheric starspots, chromospheric plages and coronal flares, as well as by strong Ca ii H+K and Hα emission, combined with the presence of ultraviolet ...

Evidence for Stellar Chromospheres in Globular Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987
We suggest that the conspicuous gaps frequently seen in the color-magnitude diagrams of globular clusters are caused by a sudden increase in chromospheric activity shortly after stars evolve away from the main sequence.

BOSS Ultracool Dwarfs I: Colors and Magnetic Activity of M and L dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present the colors and activity of ultracool (M7-L8) dwarfs from the Tenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We combine previous samples of SDSS M and L dwarfs with new data obtained from the Baryon Oscillation Sky Survey (BOSS) to ...

Atmospheric Heating and Wind Acceleration: Results for Cool Evolved Stars based on Proposed Processes

open access: yes, 2014
A chromosphere is a universal attribute of stars of spectral type later than ~F5. Evolved (K and M) giants and supergiants (including the zeta Aurigae binaries) show extended and highly turbulent chromospheres, which develop into slow massive winds.

A Model for the Chromosphere/Wind of 31 Cygni and its Implications for Single Stars

open access: yes, 2008
I develop a detailed empirical model for the chromosphere and wind of 31 Cyg based on a previously published analysis of IUE spectra from the 1993 eclipse and on the thermodynamics of how the wind must be driven.

First Detection of Thermal Radio Emission from Solar-Type Stars with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present the first detections of thermal radio emission from the atmospheres of solar-type stars {\tau} Cet, {\eta} Cas A, and 40 Eri A. These stars all resemble the Sun in age and level of magnetic activity, as indicated by X-ray luminosity and ...

Dust, pulsation, chromospheres and their role in driving mass loss from red giants in Galactic globular clusters

open access: yes, 2007
Context: Mass loss from red giants in old globular clusters affects the horizontal branch (HB) morphology and post-HB stellar evolution including the production of ultraviolet-bright stars, dredge up of nucleosynthesis products and replenishment of the ...
