The photosphere as a radiative boundary.
Abstract
The authors review the role of the photosphere as a radiative boundary for the solar interior, concentrating on semi-empirical and a priori models for the structure and emergent radiation. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Plane-parallel models. 3. Departures from plane-parallel structure. 4. Dynamical convection models.
