Furthermore, new optical  interferometers are already being used with sophisticated  interferometer techniques to image stellar surface structures more  directly, and in the future the ESO VLT Interferometer and other  instruments will extend these capabilities enormously. These  developments are highlighted in the first two sections of this book.  \u003cbr\u003e  The large number of recent results, ground-based and space-based, and  the lack of a generally accepted dynamo theory with predictive power  for the stars and the Sun, result in an ever-growing complexity of  interpretation of individual results. The IAU Symposium 176 on  `Stellar Surface Structure' consequently focused on spatially resolved  stellar observations throughout the H-R diagram, from O- and  B-stars to late M-stars. Two further sections in this book summarize  the current observational data on surface inhomogeneities in stellar  photospheres, chromospheres, and coronae. Finally, a special section  is devoted to next generation model atmospheres.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792340263\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 598\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311752532108,"sku":"9780792340263","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792340263","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
