Scientific paper

A criterion for the appearance of a convective instability in a spherical layer is obtained for a medium consisting of hydrogen and helium with allowance for rotational and nonadiabatic effects. In the case of a homogeneous medium, the strictest approach, similar to that used by Busse (1973), produces results which are significantly different from those obtained earlier. It is shown that both a decrease and an increase in the temperature of the gradient necessary for convection are possible as a function of the helium density and the rotational velocity.
