3D hydrodynamical model atmospheres: a tool to correct radial velocities and parallaxes for Gaia
arXiv:1111.5515 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/328/1/012012
Abstract
Convection plays an essential role in the emerging intensity for many stars that will be observed by Gaia. Convective-related surface structures affect the shape, shift, and asymmetry of absorption lines, the phocentric and photometric variability causing bias in Gaia measurements. Regarding the importance of Gaia mission and its goals, it is mandatory to have the best models of the observed stars. 3D time-dependent hydrodynamical simulations of surface convection are crucial to model the photosphere of late type stars in a very realistic way. These simulations are an important tool to correct the radial velocities and better estimates the parallaxes and photometric variability.
