Radiative Transfer in 3D Model Stellar Atmospheres
Recently 3D hydrodynamical simulations of stellar surface convection have become feasible thanks to advances in computer technology and efficient numerical algorithms. Available observational diagnostics indicate that these models are highly realistic in

Fictions, Conditionals, and Stellar Astrophysics [PDF]
This article argues in favour of an inferential role for fictions in scientific modelling. The argument proceeds by means of a detailed case study, namely models of the internal structure of stars in stellar astrophysics.

M-dwarf stellar winds : the effects of realistic magnetic geometry on rotational evolution and planets [PDF]
AAV acknowledges support from a Royal Astronomical Society Fellowship. JM acknowledges support from a fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation.We perform three-dimensional numerical simulations of stellar winds of early-M-dwarf stars.

Disentangling Stellar Age Estimates from Galactic Chemodynamical Evolution
Stellar ages are key for determining the formation history of the Milky Way, but are difficult to measure precisely. Furthermore, methods that use chemical abundances to infer ages may entangle the intrinsic evolution of stars with the chemodynamical ...

A Review of the Mixing Length Theory of Convection in 1D Stellar Modeling
We review the application of the one-dimensional Mixing Length Theory (MLT) model of convection in stellar interiors and low-mass stellar evolution.

The Jao Gap, a 17% decrease in stellar density at M _G ∼ 10 identified in both Gaia Data Release 2 and Early Data Release 3, presents a new method to probe the interior structure of stars near the fully convective transition mass.

From theoretical stellar spectra to realistic models of the Milky Way : a never ending Odyssey [PDF]
The last chapter is dedicated to the compilation of the results and the discussion about the success of - but also about the problems that have arisen during - and in part also survived - this work. The main goal of this thesis was, firstly, to convert

Rotation and stellar evolution
The effects of rotation on the evolution and properties of low-mass stars are first discussed from the pre-main sequence to the red giant phase. We then briefly indicate how some observational constraints available for these stars can help us progress in
