We have selected the Galactic HII region M43, a close-by apparently spherical nebula ionized by a single star (HD37061, B0.5V) to investigate several topics of...
Magnetic Flux, Heating, & Flaring: Clues from the Sun for Other Stars & Systems
On the Sun, the presence of magnetic flux at the photosphere is closely linked to (1) steady heating of the overlying atmosphere and (2) transient brightenings...
MATS CARLSSON: “En Astrofísica, no podemos realizar experimentos y solo podemos extraer información que porta la luz”
Mats Carlsson, catedrático del Instituto de Astrofísica Teórica de la Universidad de Oslo (Noruega) y director del centro de excelencia "Rosseland Center for...
Measurements of the near-infrared stellar scintillation above the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife)
The normalized variance and power spectrum of the atmospheric scintillation has been measured above the Observatorio de Teide (Canary Islands), at 2400-m...
Modeling of 3d Atmospheres of Cool Stars with the Mancha Code
The first results of the application of the MANCHA code to the case of stars beyond the solar case are presented: hydrodynamical simulations of stars of...
Modeling the Chromosphere and Transition Region of Planet-hosting Star GJ 436
Ahead of upcoming space missions intending to conduct observations of low-mass stars in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral region it becomes imperative to...
Multidimensional radiative transfer in stratified atmospheres
Energy transport by radiation is an important contribution to the energy budget in stellar atmospheric structures. In this paper, radiative relaxation of small...
Multidimensional radiative transfer in stratified atmospheres. IV - Radiative cooling by LTE and non-LTE spectral lines
The question of efficiency of radiative energy losses in spectral lines is addressed. In a semi-infinite atmosphere with constant temperature, the total...
Multidimensional radiative transfer in stratified atmospheres. VI - Radiative instabilities
The possibility that radiative instabilities in stellar atmospheres are driven by transfer of energy processes between stellar gas and the radiation field is...
