Interaction Between Convection and Pulsation [PDF]
Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2015 This article reviews our current understanding of modelling convection dynamics in stars. Several semi-analytical time-dependent convection models have been proposed for pulsating one-dimensional stellar structures with different formulations for how the

Gravitational Lensing & Stellar Dynamics [PDF]
EAS Publications Series, 2005 Strong gravitational lensing and stellar dynamics provide two complementary and orthogonal constraints on the density profiles of galaxies. Based on spherically symmetric, scale-free, mass models, it is shown that the combination of both techniques is ...

Stellar Dynamics and Black Holes [PDF]
Pramana, 2011 Chandrasekhar's most important contribution to stellar dynamics was the concept of dynamical friction. I briefly review that work, then discuss some implications of Chandrasekhar's theory of gravitational encounters for motion in galactic nuclei.Comment:

The Stellar Dynamics of Omega Centauri [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 1996 The stellar dynamics of Omega Centauri are inferred from the radial velocities of 469 stars measured with CORAVEL (Mayor et al. 1997). Rather than fit the data to a family of models, we generate estimates of all dynamical functions nonparametrically, by ...

Internal rotation of red giants by asteroseismology [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 We present an asteroseismic approach to study the dynamics of the stellar interior in red giant stars by asteroseismic inversion of the splittings induced by the stellar rotation on the oscillation frequencies.

Grigori Kuzmin and Stellar Dynamics
Open Astronomy, 2011 Grigori Kuzmin was a very gifted dynamicist and one of the towering figures in the distinguished history of the Tartu Observatory. He obtained a number of important results in relative isolation which were later rediscovered in the West.

Chandrasekhar and modern stellar dynamics [PDF]
, 2011 Stellar dynamics occupied Chandrasekhar's interest for a brief interlude between his more prolonged studies of stellar structure and radiative transfer. This paper traces the history of one of his ideas -- namely, that the shape of the galactic potential controls the orientation of the stellar velocity dispersion tensor.

Stellar dynamics around transient co-rotating spiral arms
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Spiral density wave theory attempts to describe the spiral pattern in spiral galaxies in terms of a long-lived wave structure with a constant pattern speed in order to avoid the winding dilemma.

On the orbital periods for a particular case of spherical symmetry [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2008 A particular case of steady state and spherical symmetry - the so-called logarithmic potential introduced as the first approximation for dark coronae of galaxies - is studied.

Compact Binary Coalescences: Astrophysical Processes and Lessons Learned
Galaxies, 2022 On 11 February 2016, the LIGO and Virgo scientific collaborations announced the first direct detection of gravitational waves, a signal caught by the LIGO interferometers on 14 September 2015, and produced by the coalescence of two stellar-mass black ...
