Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic fields in non-convective regions of stars.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the current state of knowledge of magnetic fields inside stars, concentrating on recent developments concerning magnetic fields in stably stratified (zones of) stars, leaving out convective dynamo theories and observations of convective envelopes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excess mid-infrared emission in cataclysmic variables
TL;DR: In this article, a search for excess mid-IR emission due to circumbinary material in the orbital plane of cataclysmic variables (CVs) is presented, which could explain several puzzles in our current understanding of CV evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bolometric Light Curves of Supernovae and Postexplosion Magnetic Fields
TL;DR: In this paper, various effects leading to diversity in the bolometric light curves of supernovae are examined; nucleosynthesis, kinematic differences, ejected mass, degree of mixing, and configuration and intensity of the magnetic field are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semiconvection: numerical simulations
TL;DR: In this article, a grid of numerical simulations of double-diffusive convection is presented for the astrophysical case where viscosity (Prandtl number Pr) and solute diffusivity (Lewis number Le) are much lower than the thermal diffusivities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The transition from a cool disk to an ion supported flow
Henk C. Spruit,B. Deufel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the inner regions of a cool accretion disk in an X-ray binary can transform into an ion supported accretion flow (an optically thin ADAF, here called ISAF), through events involving only the known properties of the Coulomb interaction in a two-temperature plasma, standard radiation processes, and viscous heating.
