Kappa-mechanism excitation of retrograde mixed modes in rotating B-type stars
Kappa-mechanism excitation of retrograde mixed modes in rotating B-type stars
I examine the stability of retrograde mixed modes in rotating B-type stars. These modes can be regarded as a hybrid between the Rossby modes that arise from conservation of vorticity, and the Poincare modes that are gravity waves modified by the Coriolis force. Using a non-adiabatic pulsation code based around …
