Abstract

The physical conditions in the convective envelopes of Pop. II main-sequence stars are described with some detail. A particular care has been devoted to the effects due to the formation of hydrogen molecules and to the pressure ionization.

Riassunto

Vengono descritte in dettaglio le condizioni fisiche nelle zone convettive esterne delle stelle di sequenza principale di Popolazione II. In particolare vengono studiati gli effetti dovuti alla formazione della molecola dell'idrogeno ed alla ionizzazione per pressione.
