Atomic Diffusion in Stars
Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2015
Abstract/Sommario:
This book gives an overview of atomic diffusion, a fundamental physical process, as applied to all types of stars, from the main sequence to neutron stars. The superficial abundances of stars as well as their evolution can be significantly affected. The authors show where atomic diffusion plays an essential role and how it can be implemented in modelling. In Part I, the authors describe the tools that are required to include atomic diffusion in models of stellar interiors and atmosphe ...; [leggi tutto]
