Convection in Stellar Evolution Models
The treatment of convection in stellar evolution calculations is briefly discussed, with emphasis on the modelling of low- and intermediate-mass stars. The specific cases of core convection during the...

Surface Convection
What are supergranules? Why do they stand out? Preliminary results from realistic simulations of solar convection on supergranule scales (96 Mm wide by 20 Mm deep) are presented. The solar surface vel...

I present an overview of the close relationship which convection and stellar pulsation share. This includes the driving, damping, and modulation of oscillations in stars such as the Sun, other solar-type stars, the “classical” pulsators (e.g., Cepheids, RR Lyrae), as well as more recent results from the realm of pulsating white dwarf stars. ©2007 American Institute of Physics
