Rotation and Mixing in Stellar Interiors

The proceedings of the Workshop Frontiers in Stellar Structure Theory held in honour of Professor Evry Schatzman in France in June 1989, this book contains 14 papers discussing research in areas such as mixing in stellar interiors, redistribution and loss of angular momentum.

The 14 papers in this collection discuss recent progress in areas such as mixing in stellar interiors, redistribution and loss of angular momentum, emphasizing in particluar the effects of turbulemnce. An introductory review by E. Schatzman, to whom this volume is dedicated, is followed by three sections: observational facts (surface abundances, stellar rotation, loss of mass and angular momentum, etc), physical knowledge (mass transport and mixing by waves, turbulent transport, fast dynamo-action, etc), and the interpretation of observations.
