Physical processes leading to surface inhomogeneities: the case of rotation
arXiv:1505.03997 · doi:10.1007/978-3-319-24151-7_5
Abstract
In this lecture I discuss the bulk surface heterogeneity of rotating stars, namely gravity darkening. I especially detail the derivation of the omega-model of Espinosa Lara & Rieutord (2011), which gives the gravity darkening in early-type stars. I also discuss the problem of deriving gravity darkening in stars owning a convective envelope and in those that are members of a binary system.
