Ap and Bp stars

Index Ap and Bp stars

Ap and Bp stars are chemically peculiar stars (hence the "p") of types A and B which show overabundances of some metals, such as strontium, chromium and europium. [1]

Ambipolar diffusion

Ambipolar diffusion is diffusion of positive and negative species with opposite electrical charge due to their interaction via an electric field.
