On the galactic chemical evolution of sulfur

N. Ryde, D. L. Lambert

Sulfur abundances have been determined for ten stars to resolve a debate in the literature on the Galactic chemical evolution of sulfur in the halo phase of the Milky Way. Our anal…

Convection in the atmospheres and envelopes of Pre-Main Sequence stars

J. Montalban, F. D'Antona, F. Kupka +1

The Teff location of Pre-Main Sequence (PMS) evolutionary tracks depends on the treatment of over-adiabaticity. Since the convection penetrates into the stellar atmosphere, also th…

Optical Properties of Complex Dust Grains

A. C. Andersen, J. A. Sotelo, G. A. Niklasson +1

Dust particles in space may appear as clusters of individual grains. The morphology of these clusters could be of a fractal or more compact nature. To investigate how the cluster m…

Three-component modeling of C-rich AGB star winds III. Micro-physics of drift-dependent dust formation

C. Sandin, S. Hoefner

A proper treatment of the non-equilibrium dust formation process is crucial in models of AGB star winds. In this paper the micro-physics of this process is treated in detail, with…

On the collisional depolarization and transfer rates of spectral lines by atomic hydrogen. III: application to -states of neutral atoms

M. Derouich, S. Sahal-Bréchot, P. S. Barklem

The theory of collisional depolarization of spectral lines by atomic hydrogen (Derouich et al. 2003a; Derouich et al. 2003b) is extended to -atomic levels =3). Depolarizatio…

Outflows and accretion in a star--disc system with stellar magnetosphere and disc dynamo

Brigitta von Rekowski, Axel Brandenburg

The interaction between a protostellar magnetosphere and a surrounding dynamo-active accretion disc is investigated using an axisymmetric mean-field model. In all models investigat…

Outflows from dynamo-active protostellar accretion discs

Brigitta von Rekowski, Axel Brandenburg, Wolfgang Dobler +1

An axisymmetric model of a cool, dynamo-active accretion disc is applied to protostellar discs. Thermally and magnetically driven outflows develop that are not collimated within 0.…

Can Microlensing Explain the Long-Term Optical Variability of Quasars?

Erik Zackrisson, Nils Bergvall, Thomas Marquart +1

Although controversial, the scenario of microlensing as the dominant mechanism for the long-term optical variability of quasars does provide a natural explanation for both the stat…
