I will show how the selective effects on the chemical elements inside stars, due to gravity and radiative transfer, may have important consequences on their internal structure and evolution. These effects may modify in a drastic way the local stellar opacities. They may lead to non-standard convection, different from the one that is usually taken into account in stellar models.

A Universe of Waves

le 11 septembre 2026, 10h45 à 12h45, Arturo Lopez-Ariste, salle Coriolis, OMP, site Belin Summary: The phase of a wave can only be defined unambiguously for complex waves. This strange quantity appears at the core of all physics: from the quantification of atomic levels or of the electric charge to the source of the electromagnetic […]
