GAIA AND PHYSICS OF STELLAR INTERIORS

EAS Publications Series, 2002
Understanding the stellar interiors is an important issue for astrophysics, but also for fundamental physics. The physical description of the stellar material implies statistical physics as well as hydrodynamics. We give examples of unsolved physical problems and their consequences for predictions of stellar properties and evolution.

Turbulent Transport in Stellar Interiors

Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics, 1998
The authors consider differential rotation as a major cause of turbulence in stably stratified stellar interiors. It is shown that for an anisotropy \(A\) of horizontal to vertical velocities, the vertical diffusivity is a factor \(A^2\) less than the horizontal diffusivity. Transport by meridional circulation is also reduced, as well as the efficiency

The Physics of Stellar Interiors

Physics Bulletin, 1975
V C Reddish Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press 1974 pp vii + 107 price £3 Written at an undergraduate/postgraduate level, this book is based on a course of lectures given by Dr Reddish to astronomy students at the Case-Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, in the spring of 1969. Part one of the book deals with the structure, energy generating

Supersonic convection in stellar interiors

Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2006
According to the result of the numerical simulation on stellar convective envelopes by the traditional mixing length theory, supersonic convection would occur on the top of the convective regions of the yellow-and-red giants and supergiants. This, however, is not self-consistent with the local convection theory itself.

Magnetic monopoles in stellar interiors

Lettere Al Nuovo Cimento Series 2, 1985
We study the energy loss of magnetic monopoles in a hot plasma and discuss the trapping of magnetic monopoles in the interior of the Sun. We find that magnetic monopoles inpinging onto the Sun with V ∼ 10−3 c are trapped if their mass is M ≲10−16 GeV. Bounds on the flux of such particles are derived from data on the Sun magnetic field, luminosity and ...

Transport processes in stellar interiors

2008
We first recall Evry Schatzman’s pioneering contributions to the theory of transport of matter and angular momentum in the radiative interior of stars. He suggested that this transport could be of turbulent nature and he linked it to the internal rotation state.
