I summarize the stellar side of the cosmological lithium problem(s). Evidence from independent studies is accumulating and indicates that stars may very well be fully responsible for lowering their surface lithium from the predicted…
In the article it is shown that at presence of fundamental scalar fields determining the masses of the scalar charged particles the global thermodynamic equilibrium (GTE) is compatible with a process of the cosmological expansion of the…

Relaxational effects in stellar heat transport can in many cases be significant. Relativistic Fourier-Eckart theory is inherently quasi-stationary, and cannot incorporate these effects. The effects are naturally accounted for in causal…
The so-called full non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (FNLTE) radiative transfer problem allows us to take into account not only deviations of the radiation field from the Planckian but also deviations of the densities and velocity…

Spectral lines of helium are commonly observed on the Sun. These observations contain important informations about physical conditions and He/H abundance variations within solar outer structures. The modeling of chromospheric and coronal…
The Euler equation has been accepted as the basic postulate of stellar physics long before the plasma physics was developed. The existence of electrical interaction between particles of interstellar plasma poses the question, how this…
Using the technique of Pade Approximants for the correlation contributions of charged particles we are able to reproduce complex mathematical expressions by simple algebraic formulas. The Pade formulas are analytical expressions, which…
'Relativistic thermodynamics' should be understood not as a generalization of a non-relativistic theory but as an application of a general thermodynamic framework, neutral as to spacetime setting and allowing arbitrary conserved quantities,…
We construct hydrogen atmosphere models for strongly magnetized neutron stars in thermodynamic equilibrium, taking into account partial ionization. The presence of bound states affects the equation of state, absorption coefficients, and…
It has been built a strict mathematical model of the thermodynamic equilibrium's establishment in the originally nonequilibrium cosmological ultrarelativistic plasma for the arbitrary accelerated Universe under the assumption that scaling…
We present a detailed investigation of neutron star atmospheres with low magnetic fields, $B < 10^8 -10^{10}$ G, which do not affect opacities and equation of state of the atmospheric matter. We compute the atmospheric structure, emergent…
Non-local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (NLTE) calculations of hot white dwarf (WD) model atmospheres are the cornerstone of modern flux calibrations for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and for the CALSPEC database. These theoretical spectral…
