Rotation and mixing in stellar interiors : proceedings of the Workshop Frontiers in Stellar Structure Theory, held in honor of Professor Evry Schatzman in Les Houches, France, June 19-25, 1989

The 14 papers in this collection discuss recent progress in areas such as mixing in stellar interiors, redistribution and loss of angular momentum, emphasizing in particular the effects of turbulence. An introductory review by E. Schatzman, to whom this volume is dedicated, is followed by three sections: observational facts (surface abundances, stellar rotation, loss of mass and angular momentum, etc.), physical knowledge (mass transport and mixing by waves, turbulent transport, fast dynamo action, etc.), and the interpretation of observations. Rotation, lithium and mixing....Pages 1-26 Surface abundances....Pages 27-45 Stellar rotation prior to the main sequence....Pages 47-68 The internal rotation of the sun....Pages 69-86 Loss of mass and angular momentum: The observational point of view....Pages 87-88 Pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks and lithium burning....Pages 89-105 Mass transport and mixing by waves....Pages 107-118 Turbulent transport in stratified and rotating fluids....Pages 119-128 Penetration and overshooting from a convection zone....Pages 129-140 Turbulent transport in stellar radiation zones: Causes and effects....Pages 141-150 Will a magnetic field inhibit turbulent transport?....Pages 151-161 Fast dynamo action-A critical problem for solar magnetism....Pages 163-163 Observational constraints on the turbulent diffusion coefficient in late type stars....Pages 165-172 Probing stellar interiors....Pages 173-182 Conclusion....Pages 183-183 The proceedings of the Workshop Frontiers in Stellar Structure Theory held in honour of Professor Evry Schatzman in France in June 1989, this book contains 14 papers discussing research in areas such as mixing in stellar interiors, redistribution and loss of angular momentum.
