Generation and propagation of longitudinal tube waves in late-type stellar atmospheres and the rotation-emission activity relation
… energy fluxes as a result of the interaction of magnetic flux tubes with the turbulent medium of the convection zones of late-type stars were computed. Solar magnetic flux tubes of different filling factors were heated with adiabatic and radiatively damped LTW. It was found that the tube geometry …
