Radiative Transfer Schemes for Hydrodynamical Stellar Surfaces
Abstract
We have investigated the radiational fields through a hydrodynamical stellar model atmosphere. Stellar convection zone is the extremely turbulent region composed of partly ionized compressible gases in high temperature. Moreover, super-adiabatic layers are the transition region in energy transport from convection to radiation. Therefore, opacities and thermodynamic properties due to interaction of matter and radiational fields vary significantly with depth. In order to describe radiational fields accurately, the Opacity Distribution Function (ODF) and the Accelerated Lambda Iteration (ALI) have been applied to hydrodynamic medium. As the first result of our radiative transfer, we present time-dependant variation of radiational fields and thermodynamic structures. Our non-gray transfer model has been compared with the conventional Eddington Approximation. Detailed information of radiational fields and thermodynamic properties will provide deeper insight of physical processes inside stellar atmospheres.
