Convection, Chromospheric Heating and Mixing of Material in Main-Sequence F-type Stars
This thesis falls into the general category of studies of the outer layers of stars on the mid to lower main sequence. It deals specifically with the properties...
Converting Hα Luminosities into Star Formation Rates
The recent finding that the integrated galactic initial stellar mass function, comprising all newly formed stars in all young star clusters, has, through its...
Cool atmosphere models and observations: liability and limits of brown dwarfs and exoplanets physical parameters determination
The study of cool atmospheres is currently a fruitful field of interaction between theorists developing better atmosphere models and observers discovering new...
Cool stars with hot companions in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Most massive stars are born in binary systems, with 70% expected to interact with a companion within their lifetimes. The consequences of these interactions for...
Cooling of Accretion Heated Neutron Star Transients
Some neutron star X-ray transients (the quasi-persistent transients) spend an unusually long time in outburst, with outbursts lasting years to decades rather...
