Small-scale dynamical processes in quiet stellar atmospheres

Creators

Description

High-resolution observations of small-scale solar dynamics are discussed, taking into account the phase relations of high degree p-modes, power spectra of short-period oscillations, observations of high frequency waves using CCD array, dynamic signatures of quiet sun magnetic fields, and small-scale dynamical processes in the solar chromosphere. Other topics explored are related to projected improvements to high-resolution measurements, interpretation of high-resolution measurements, modelling of small-scale dynamical processes, convection and wave generation, interaction between solar convection and magnetism, low-resolution observations bearing on small-scale dynamical processes in the sun, the interpretation of low resolution observations, the accuracy of models obtained from low-resolution observations, and observations and interpretations of small-scale dynamical processes in stellar atmospheres. Attention is given to the observation of stellar granulation, and Zeeman broadening in solar type stars
