On both observational and theoretical grounds, the disk of our Galaxy should be accreting cool gas with temperature ~<10^5 K via the halo at a rate ~1 M_sun/yr. At least some of this accretion is mediated by high velocity clouds (HVCs),…

Turbulent motions in stellar convection zones generate acoustic energy, part of which is then supplied to normal modes of the star. Their amplitudes result from a balance between the efficiencies of excitation and damping processes in the…
