Internal gravity waves (IGWs) are likely to cause mixing in stellar interiors. Studies show that the mixing by these waves changes drastically across age and mass (Varghese et al. 2023, arXiv:2211.06432). Here, we study the effect of…

The solar surface is a continuous source of internal gravity waves (IGWs). IGWs are believed to supply the bulk of the wave energy for the lower solar atmosphere, but their existence and role for the energy balance of the upper layers is…

Massive main-sequence stars have convective cores and radiative envelopes, but also sub-surface convection zones caused by partial ionisation. However, the convective properties depend on opacity and a star's metallicity. Non-rotating 1D…
