Radiative hydrodynamic simulations of red supergiant stars

Radiative hydrodynamic simulations of red supergiant stars

Context. It has been shown that convection in red supergiant stars gives rise to large granules causing surface inhomogeneities together with shock waves in the photosphere. The resulting motion of the photocenter (on time scales ranging from months to years) could possibly have adverse effects on the parallax determination with …
