Convection in Stars Stellar convection is a central but poorly understood parameter In the construction of stellar models and the determination of stellar ages, influencing both the energy transport through the atmosPh.ere and the replenishment 01 nuclear fuels in the core. The motlons in stellar convection zones probably supply the energy for generating magnetic fields, heating stellar chromospheres and coronae, driving stellar winds, and for many other nonthermal phenomena. The inhomogeneous structure of velocity fields on stellar surfaces complicates the accurate determination of stellar radial velocities. Further, the temperature inhomogeneities on stellar surfaces induce molecular abundance inhomogeneities and entangle the accurate determination of chemical abundances.
