An analysis is made of the velocity field determined from spectral absorption line profiles as well as inhomogeneous element sizes obtained from stochastic theory. The results of three-dimensional simulations of convective motions in the photospheres of the Sun and Procyon are presented. It is concluded that penetrative convection covers a considerable fraction of the Procyon photosphere.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
