Impacts of radiative accelerations on solar-like oscillating main-sequence stars

M. Deal, G. Alecian, Y. Lebreton +5

Chemical element transport processes are among the crucial physical processes needed for precise stellar modelling. Atomic diffusion by gravitational settling nowadays is usually t…

Deterministically Driven Avalanche Models of Solar Flares

Antoine Strugarek, Paul Charbonneau, Richard Joseph +1

We develop and discuss the properties of a new class of lattice-based avalanche models of solar flares. These models are readily amenable to a relatively unambiguous physical inter…
