Rotation-Induced Mixing in Red Giant Stars
Red giant stars, both in the field and in globular clusters, present abundance anomalies that can not be explained by standard stellar evolution models. Some of these peculiarities, such as the decline of C/C, and that of Li and C surface abundances for stars more luminous than the bump, clearly point towards the existence of extra-mixing processes at play inside the stars, the nature of which ...
متن کاملModeling the Winds and Magnetospheres of Active OB Stars
After briefly reviewing the theory behind the radiative line-driven winds of OB stars, I examine the processes that can generate structure in them; these include both intrinsic instabilities, and surface perturbations such as pulsation and rotation. I then delve into wind channeling and confinement by magnetic fields as a mechanism for forming longer-lived circumstellar structures. With a narra...
متن کاملRapid Rotation, Active Nests of Convection and Global-scale Flows in Solar-like Stars
In the solar convection zone, rotation couples with intensely turbulent convection to build global-scale flows of differential rotation and meridional circulation. Our sun must have rotated more rapidly in its past, as is suggested by observations of many rapidly rotating young solar-type stars. Here we explore the effects of more rapid rotation on the patterns of convection in such stars and t...
متن کاملRapid uniform rotation of protoneutron stars
Rapid uniform rotation of newborn neutron stars (protoneutron stars) is studied for a range of internal temperatures and entropies per baryon predicted by the existing numerical simulations. Calculations are performed using general relativistic equations of hydrostatic equilibrium of rotating, axially symmetric stars. Stability of rotating configurations with respect to mass shedding and the ax...
متن کاملEvidence for Rotation-induced Mixing in Evolved Intermediate Mass Stars
Many observational results seem to indicate more efficient mixing processes in intermediate mass stars (520 M⊙) than the expected by the standard models. These processes are usually thought to be caused by stellar rotation. Our recent analysis of 19 evolved intermediate mass stars has found them to display different efficiencies of internal mixing. The comparison of these results, and others fr...
