Effects of rotation and thermohaline mixing in red giant stars
arXiv:1109.0200 · doi:10.1007/978-3-642-18418-5_12
Abstract
Thermohaline mixing has been recently identified as the probable dominating process that governs the photospheric composition of low-mass bright giant stars. Here we present the predictions of stellar models computed with the code STAREVOL including this mechanism together with rotational mixing. We compare our theoretical predictions with recent observations.
