Theoretical Stellar Pulsation Physics
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2022AbstractPulsating stars play a crucial role in the calibration of the cosmic distance scale as well as in tracing the properties of the associated stellar populations. In the era of large observational surveys and precise astrometric missions, it is crucial to rely on accurate stellar pulsation models able to predict the observed behaviors for ...

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009
We review recent progress using numerical simulations as a testbed for development of a theory of stellar convection, much as envisaged by John von Newmann. Necessary features of the theory, non‐locality and fluctuations, are illustrated by computer movies.

Physics of compact stellarators
Physics of Plasmas, 1999Recent progress in the theoretical understanding and design of compact stellarators is described. Hybrid devices, which depart from canonical stellarators by deriving benefits from the bootstrap current which flows at finite beta, comprise a class of low aspect ratio A<4 stellarators.

Stellar Evolution Physics – Volume 1. Physical Processes in Stellar Interiors
Contemporary Physics, 2015Photographs of outer space always show contrasting regions of brightness and darkness. The bright regions are the stars as many would have guessed, while the dark ones are nothing, again, as many w...

The Physics of Stellar Interiors
Physics Bulletin, 1975V 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

This volume explains the microscopic physics operating in stars in advanced stages of their evolution and describes with many numerical examples and illustrations how they respond to this microphysics. Models of low and intermediate mass are evolved through the core helium-burning phase, the asymptotic giant branch phase (alternating shell hydrogen and

Recent Developments in Stellarator Physics
Nuclear Technology - Fusion, 1983Experimental and theoretical work on the stellarator concept has established its position as the best alternate concept for fusion power. Its plasma properties are comparable to, or better than, those obtained in comparable tokamak devices. Confinement and transport should be adequate for reactor operation, with high-..beta..

The physics of stellar core collapse
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1988The hydrodynamics that develops during the infall of the core of a massive star at the end of its hydrostatic evolutionary epoch can have a profound effect on its subsequent dynamical history. In this paper the important processes governing the infall hydrodynamics are explored both semi-analytically and numerically with the aim of explaining the ...

Physical mechanisms in stellar pulsations
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1985Stars evolve from their births to their deaths by converting their store of hydrogen to helium, and then much of this helium is fused to heavier elements such as carbon, oxygen, and up to iron. During this evolution, the stellar mass may decrease by a stellar wind mass loss, the radius usually greatly increases, and the radiation luminosity emitted at ...
