Rotation is ubiquitous among massive stars. With rotation comes a deformation to the surface geometry, which in turn leads to alterations in the distribution of parameters across the surface including surface gravity, temperature and…
Wave propagation in multilayered media with high material contrasts poses significant numerical challenges, as large variations in wavenumbers lead to strong reflections and complex transmission of the incoming wave field. To address these…
