Chemical mixing by turbulent convection in the overshooting region below the convective envelope of RGB stars TEXT SIZE: A A A
As stars near the end of their lives, their surface expands and cools and they enter their red giant stage. This article studies how chemicals in the outer atmospheres of red giants mix together from turbulent internal motions. This article helps astronomers better understand the behaviors of stars in the late stages of their life.
