Weather in stellar atmosphere: the dynamics of mercury clouds in alpha Andromedae

Oleg Kochukhov, Saul J. Adelman, Austin F. Gulliver +1

The formation of long-lasting structures at the surfaces of stars is commonly ascribed to the action of strong magnetic fields. This paradigm is supported by observations of evolvi…
