Question
I have tried searching the web but cannot find a short explanation of this phenomenon. I think it is something to do with stellar interiors.
Thanks
Hi Don,
There is no question here, but doesn't matter as I have no idea what that is. That is far beyond my meager knowledge of physics. I did, however, type your subject title into Google and came up with all sorts of articles, like see
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1995ApJ...445..521N
and
http://aias.us/documents/uft/a67thpaper.pdf
Hope this helps,

Astronomy has been my hobby/pasttime for over 50 years. Currently own 3 telescopes, the largest of which is a 30 inch Newtonian truss Dob that is portable.I taught Astronomy/Meteorology at the University Level for 13 years before retiring in 1995. Being retired and home most of the time, I am able to answer all questions relatively quickly, unless it's a new moon weekend with good observing conditions. No astrology questions please, or questions about alleged UFO picture identifications.
