Radiative hydrodynamics simulations of red supergiant stars: I. interpretation of interferometric observations
Context. It has been suggested that convection in Red Supergiant (RSG) stars gives rise to large-scale granules causing observable surface inhomogeneities. This convection is also extremely vigorous, and suspected to be one of the causes of mass-loss in RSGs. It must thus be understood in details. Evidence has been accumulated …
