Horizontal Branch Stellar Evolution
I review aspects of the evolution of horizontal branch (HB) stars. The defining characteristic of this, the core He-burning phase of evolution for M < Mflash ∼ 2.2M⊙, is a spread in observed colour amongst HB stars within the (almost) chemically homogeneous, isochronous populations found in Galactic globular clusters. The inference is that the stars within a given cluster must have undergone va...
متن کاملStellar Evolution with Rotation and Magnetic Fields
We examine the generation of a magnetic field in a solar-like star and its effects on the internal distribution of the angular velocity. We suggest that the evolution of a rotating star with magnetic fields leads to an equilibrium value of the differential rotation. This equilibrium is determined by the magnetic coupling, which favours a constant rotation profile, and meridional circulation whi...
متن کاملStellar Rotation in Young Clusters. Ii. Evolution of Stellar Rotation and Surface Helium Abundance
We derive the effective temperatures and gravities of 461 OB stars in 19 young clusters by fitting the H profile in their spectra. We use synthetic model profiles for rotating stars to develop a method to estimate the polar gravity for these stars, which we argue is a useful indicator of their evolutionary status. We combine these results with projected rotational velocity measurements obtained...
متن کاملEffects of Uniform and Differential Rotation on Stellar Pulsations
We have investigated the effects of uniform rotation and a specific model for differential rotation on the pulsation frequencies of 10 M⊙ stellar models. Uniform rotation decreases the frequencies for all modes. Differential rotation does not appear to have a significant effect on the frequencies, except for the most extreme differentially rotating models. In all cases, the large and small sepa...
متن کاملLagrangian evolution of velocity increments in rotating turbulence: the effects of rotation on non-Gaussian statistics
The effects of rotation on the evolution of non-Gaussian statistics of velocity increments in rotating turbulence are studied in this paper. Following the Lagrangian evolution of the velocity increments over a fixed distance on an evolving material element, we derive a set of equations for the increments, which provides closed representation for the nonlinear interaction between the increments ...
