Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: William Schultz, Lars Bildsten, Yan-Fei Jiang, , | Summary: The outer envelopes of massive ($Mgtrsim10,M_{odot}$) stars exhibit large increases in opacities from forests of lines and ionization transitions (particularly from iron and helium) that trigger near-surface convection zones. One-dimensional models predict density inversions and supersonic motions that […]
