Overshooting from Stellar Convective Cores.

The possible extent by which the motions in a convective core might overshoot into the surrounding stable layers has been investigated by a fundamental mode analysis as well as by the method of following the entropy excess of a rising element. The fact that a great number of convective motions occur consecutively in a relevant evolution time has also been taken into account. The results indicate that the usual procedure of neglecting all overshooting from convective cores will generally be a good approximation.
