The authors give an overview of atomic diffusion as applied to all
types of stars, showing where it plays an essential role and how it
can be implemented in modelling. Part I describes the tools that
are required to include atomic diffusion in models of stellar
interiors and atmospheres. An important role is played by the
gradient of partial radiative pressure, or radiative acceleration,
which is usually neglected in stellar evolution. In Part II, the
authors systematically review the contribution of atomic diffusion
to each evolutionary step. The dominant effects of atomic diffusion
are accompanied by more subtle effects on a large number of
structural properties throughout evolution. The goal of this book
is to provide the means for the astrophysicist or graduate student
to evaluate the importance of atomic diffusion in a given star. A
fundamental physical process, atomic diffusion can significantly
affect the superficial abundances of stars and/or their evolution.
This guide includes all the information needed to take proper
account of atomic diffusion's impact.
