Stellar turbulence. Proceedings of the Fifty-first Colloquium, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada, August 27-30, 1979

OSTI ID:7053562
The generation, nature, and implications of stellar turbulence are discussed, considering both the stellar and solar domains. Attention is given to the generation of motions by convection, rotation, oscillations, the measurement and observed characteristics of turbulence, modeling and theoretical interpretation of turbulence, and the relation of chromospheres, coronae, and mass loss to the turbulence. In particular, the Wilson-Bappu effect, non-thermal motions, observations of velocity fields, and micro-, meso- and macroturbulence are considered. Topics include the generation of oscillatory motions in the stellar atmosphere, photospheric macroturbulence in late-type stars, the effects of acoustic waves on spectral line profiles, and mechanical energy transport.
