Non-local time-dependent treatments of convection in A-G type stars
Time-Dependent Convection (TDC) models obtained by combining the local treatment of Gabriel (1996) and Grigahcène et al. (2005) and the non-local prescriptions of Spiegel (1963) are presented. We show that in the stationary unperturbed case, these non-local treatments can be constrained by the results of 3D hydrodynamic simulations (Stein & Nordlund 1998). We consider here the case of solar-typ...
متن کاملObservations of convection in A-type stars
Convection and turbulence in stellar atmospheres have a significant effect on the emergent flux from A-type stars. The recent theoretical advancements in convection modelling have proved a challenge to the observers to obtain measurements with sufficient precision and accuracy to allow discrimination between the various predictions. A discussion of the current observational techniques used to e...
متن کاملConvection in Oblate Solar-Type Stars
We present the first global 3D simulations of thermal convection in the oblate envelopes of rapidly-rotating solar-type stars. This has been achieved by exploiting the capabilities of the new Compressible High-ORder Unstructured Spectral difference (CHORUS) code. We consider rotation rates up to 85% of the critical (breakup) rotation rate, which yields an equatorial radius that is up to 17% lar...
متن کاملThe Interaction Of Multiple Convection Zones In A-type Stars
A-type stars have a complex internal structure with the possibility of multiple convection zones. If not sufficiently separated, such zones will interact through the convectively stable regions that lie between them. It is therefore of interest to ask whether the typical conditions that exist within such stars are such that these convection zones can ever be considered as disjoint. In this pape...
متن کاملThermal g-modes and unexpected convection in superfluid neutron stars
We suggest that specific thermal low-frequency g-modes can exist in superfluid neutron stars. They can be excited in the matter with a nonzero gradient of entropy per electron. We determine the Brunt-Väisälä frequency for these modes and demonstrate that they can be unstable with respect to convection. The criterion for the instability onset (analogue of the well-known Schwarzschild criterion) ...
