Observations of convection in A-type stars
Abstract
Convection and turbulence in stellar atmospheres have a significant effect on the emergent flux from A-type stars. The recent theoretical advancements in convection modelling have proven to be a challenge to the observers to obtain measurements with sufficient precision and accuracy to permit discrimination between the various predictions.
