Theories for convection in stellar atmospheres

  • 1. Stockholm Univ. (Sweden). Institutionen foer Teoretisk Fysik

Description

A discussion of the fundamental differences between laboratory convection in a stellar atmosphere is presented. The shortcomings of laterally homogeneous model atmospheres are analysed, and the extent to which these shortcoming are avoided in the two-component representation is discussed. Finally a qualitative discussion on the scaling properties of stellar granulation is presented. (Auth.)
