Magnetic Bubbles and Extramixing in Stars
نویسندگان
چکیده
The possible role of magnetic flux tubes in transporting matter from near the H shell through the radiative zone and into the convective envelope is explored. It is shown that the required rates of mass transport necessary to provide nuclear processed material to the envelope can be achieved if large magnetic fields are present just above the H shell in AGB and RGB stars. The required fields in this zone reach 5 MG for the AGB case and 0.5-0.05 MG for the RGB case. It may thus be possible that magnetic bouyancy play a major role in providing the extra mixing needed for these stars.

Slow and Fast Extramixing in Evolved Stars from Magnetic Buoyancy
We present the results of nucleosynthesis computations in mass transport phenomena affecting the final evolutionary stages of a low mass star. We assume that the process starts near the H-burning shell, and is driven by magnetic mechanisms, according to recent suggestions [1]. This is due to the fact that magnetized bubbles are subject to a fast buoyancy, accompanied by a downward flow induced ...
متن کاملAl production from magnetically induced extramixing in AGB Stars
We discuss nucleosynthesis results obtained following the recent suggestion that extramixing phenomena in red giants might be driven by magnetic buoyancy. We explore for this model the production of the short-lived radioactive isotope Al and of stable light nuclei, considering both the case of the general buoyancy of flux tubes and that of the intermittent release of magnetized unstable structu...
متن کاملDifferent Magnetic Field Distributions in Deformed Neutron Stars
In this work, we review the formalism which would allow us to model magnetically deformed neutron stars. We study the effect of different magnetic field configurations on the equation of state (EoS) and the structure of such stars. For this aim, the EoS of magnetars is acquired by using the lowest order constraint variational (LOCV) method and employing the AV18 potential....
متن کاملOn Rapidly Rotating Magnetic Core-Collapse Supernovae
We have analyzed the magnetic effects that may occur in rapidly rotating core collapse supernovae. We consider effects from both magnetic turbulence and the formation of magnetic bubbles. For magnetic turbulence we have made a perturbative analysis for our spherically symmetric core-collapse supernova model that incorporates the build up of magnetic field energy in the matter accreting onto the...
متن کاملStructured Red Giant Winds with Magnetized Hot Bubbles and the Corona/cool Wind Dividing Line
By performing magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations, we investigate the mass loss of intermediateand low-mass stars from main sequence (MS) to red giant branch (RGB) phases. Alfvén waves, which are excited by the surface convections travel outwardly and dissipate by nonlinear processes to accelerate and heat the stellar winds. We dynamically treat these processes in open magnetic field region...
