On long-duration 3D simulations of stellar convection using ANTARES

Abstract

Abstract We present initial results from three-dimensional (3-D) radiation hydrodynamical simulations for the Sun and targeted Sun-like stars. We plan to extend these simulations up to several stellar days to study p-mode excitation and damping processes. The level of variation of irradiance on the time scales spanned by our 3-D simulations will be studied too. Here we show results from a first analysis of the computational data we produced so far.
