We have been monitoring the CaII H and K emission in late-type giant stars using the Mt Wilson 60-inch telescope. It is a continuation of work that Olin Wilson began almost 20 years ago. As a result not only have starspot cycles been detected (equivalent to the solar sunspot cycle), but rotation periods have now been measured.

Abstract Advanced divertor configurations modify the magnetic geometry of the divertor to achieve a combination of strong magnetic flux expansion, increased connection length and higher divertor volume—to improve detachment stability, neutral/impurity confinement and heat‐channel broadening.

Integration of kinetic ions in a three‐dimensional Monte‐Carlo neutral transport code
Abstract Charged particles of species different from the major constituents of a plasma might not reach local thermodynamic equilibrium during their lifespan. Such low collisional ions render the often‐used fluid description, assuming Maxwellian velocity distribution, as insufficient. Hence, kinetic treatment of such minorities becomes inevitable.

Ideal MHD theory of low-frequency Alfven waves in the H-1 Heliac [PDF]
A part analytical, part numerical ideal MHD analysis of low-frequency Alfven wave physics in the H-1 stellarator is given. The three-dimensional, compressible ideal spectrum for H-1 is presented and it is found that despite the low beta (approx.

The importance of the classical channel in the impurity transport of optimized stellarators [PDF]
In toroidal magnetic confinement devices, such as tokamaks and stellarators, neoclassical transport is usually an order of magnitude larger than its classical counterpart.

Prevention of core particle depletion in stellarators by turbulence
In reactor-relevant plasmas, neoclassical transport drives an outward particle flux in the core of large stellarators and predicts strongly hollow density profiles. However, this theoretical prediction is contradicted by experiments.

Perturbing an axisymmetric magnetic equilibrium to obtain a quasi-axisymmetric stellarator
It is demonstrated that finite-pressure, approximately quasi-axisymmetric stellarator equilibria can be directly constructed (without numerical optimization) via perturbations of given axisymmetric equilibria.

In future fusion reactors, the confinement of α-particles is a crucial issue. The perfect omnigenity may be difficult to achieve in the quasi-isodynamic and quasi-symmetric stellarators when a multi-objective optimization is considered.
