Stellar Chromospheres

Science, 1966
Besides being of intrinsic interest, these outer stellar envelopes provide very useful astrophysical tools.

Stellar chromospheres, coronae, and winds (invited review)

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1986
Within the last few years there have been important advances in our understanding of the chromospheres, coronae, and winds of late-type stars. This progress has been the result of ultraviolet and X-ray observations obtained from space with the International Ultraviolet Explorer andEinstein satellites. In addition, ground-based astronomy has contributed

A phenomenological interpretation of stellar chromospheres

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1986
An attempt is made to develop a phenomenological interpretation of stellar chromospheres. The following problems are examined: observed emission powers of ‘magnesium’ chromospheres on stars based on the ultraviolet doublet, 2800 Mgii, observations; dependence of chromosphere emission on spectral and luminosity classes; stellar chromospheres as an ...

Solar and stellar chromospheres

2005
This review attempts to highlight two fundamental and complementary aspects of the chromospheric phenomenon; viz., global properties of stellar chromospheres and their variation among the stars, and the underlying fine structure that affects or determines these global properties.

Stellar Model Chromospheres and Spectroscopic Diagnostics

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2017
The discovery of exoplanets and the desire to understand their atmospheric chemical composition and habitability provides a new rationale for understanding the radiation from X-rays to radio wavelengths emitted by their host stars. Semiempirical models of stellar atmospheres that include accurate treatment of radiative transfer of all important atoms ...

Stellar Chromospheres, Coronae, and Winds

1992
Chromospheres, coronae, and winds similar to those observed on the Sun have been detected in a variety of cool stars. In many cases, especially for main-sequence stars, there is good evidence that the processes leading to non-radiative plasma heating and wind acceleration are the same as for the Sun, although the radiative losses from stellar ...

The present state of wave-heating theories of stellar chromospheres

Advances in Space Research, 1986
Abstract Observational constraints are summarized and the present state of the acoustic and mhd-wave heating theories for chromospheres in early and late-type stars are discussed. It is found that the slow-mode mhd-wave heating theory looks most promising but that mode-coupling from transverse or torsional Alfven waves may be significant for the ...

Stellar rotation as a controller of coronae and chromospheres of giant stars

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1983
The flux of X-ray emission from F, G, and K giants drops abruptly at G5 III. This mimics the drop in rotation rates of giant seen previously. The X-ray flux, when normalized to the bolometric flux, varies as the square of the equatorial surface rotatin velocity.
