Angular momentum transport in stellar interiors

C Aerts, S Mathis, TM Rogers - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Stars lose a significant amount of angular momentum between birth and death, implying that
efficient processes transporting it from the core to the surface are active. Space …

Convective boundary mixing in main-sequence stars: theory and empirical constraints

EH Anders, MG Pedersen - Galaxies, 2023 - mdpi.com
The convective envelopes of solar-type stars and the convective cores of intermediate-and
high-mass stars share boundaries with stable radiative zones. Through a host of processes …

Accreted versus in situ Milky Way globular clusters

DA Forbes, T Bridges - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
A large, perhaps dominant fraction, of the Milky Way's halo is thought to be built up by the
