Description
Both linear and nonlinear analysis are used to gain a better
understanding of the effects of multi-dimensional transfer of energy by
radiation in spatially structured stellar atmospheres. Information on
the radiative response of RE (radiative equilibrium) model atmospheres
to temperature fluctuations is obtained. Whether or not such perturbed
systems always return to their initial RE configurations is addressed by
investigation of the dependence of the radiative relaxation times on the
geometry and structural lengths of the perturbations, as well as
establishing the conditions under which radiative instabilities can be
possible.
