... To determine the parameters we want (stellar magnitudes and colors) from the observations we have, we fit the data to a model. The model should represent the circumstances of the observations as realistically as possible; otherwise, effects present in the data but not in the model will be distributed among the available adjustable parameters, such as stellar magnitudes, extinction coefficients, and transformation parameters. ...

... In this poster we propose a hypothesis that within fixed assumptions about internal physics (opacity, thermodynamics, nuclear reactions) a strict relation between the surface helium abundance and the entropy of the adiabatic part of the convective zone exists for all solar models. This hypothesis is verified with models under simplified physics (Christensen­Dalsgaard 1988) and with six evolutionary models computed by Christensen­Dalsgaard (1992). ... 1990, Christensen­Dalsgaard 1991). ...

Marc White . ... Turbulent entrainment processes may play an important role in the outflows from young stellar objects at all stages of their evolution. In particular, lateral entrainment of ambient material by high-velocity, well-collimated protostellar jets may be the cause of the multiple emission-line velocity components observed in the microjet-scale outflows driven by classical T Tauri stars. ...
