… where starlight and stellar spectra originate STELLAR SURFACES … where starlight and stellar spectra originate Simulations feasible for widely different stars But … any precise physical conclusion depends on the reliability of modeling (metallicity, magnetic activity, gravitational redshift, center-to-limb wavelength changes). How does one verify/falsify 3-D simulations (except for the spatially resolved Sun) ? High-resolution spectroscopy across spatially resolved stellar disks ! Granulation on a 12,000 K white dwarf (top) and a 3,800 K red giant. Areas differ by enormous factors: 7x7 km2 for the white dwarf, and 23x23 RSun2 for the giant. (H.-G. Ludwig, Heidelberg)

LINE PROFILES FROM 3-D HYDRODYNAMIC SIMULATIONS Model predictions insensitive to modest spatial smearing Spatially averaged line profiles from 20 timesteps, and temporal averages.  = 620 nm  = 3 eV 5 line strengths GIANT STAR Teff= 5000 K log g [cgs] = 2.5 (approx.

WAVELENGTH SHIFTS OF INTERGALACTIC ABSORPTION LINES Towards the science case for E-ELT HIRES, Cambridge UK, September 2012 KVA HIRES quasar spectrum (A.S.Cowie, Univ.of Hawaii) WAVELENGTH SHIFTS OF INTERGALACTIC ABSORPTION LINES Dainis Dravins – Lund Observatory, Sweden www.astro.lu.se/~dainis

WHENEVER SPECTRAL LINES DO NOT ORIGINATE IN ISOTROPIC TURBULENCE, WAVELENGTH SHIFTS RESULT Observed solar granulation (Swedish Solar Telescope on La Palma; G.Scharmer & M.G.Löfdahl) SOLAR MODEL Synthetic line profiles showing convective wavelength shifts originating in granulation  = 620 nm;  = 1, 3, 5 eV; 5 line strengths Teff= 5700 K; log g [cgs] = 4.4; G2 V Solar disk center; µ = cos  = 1.0 (Models by Hans-Günter Ludwig, Landessternwarte Heidelberg)

(Even if timescales might be 100 Myr, rather than solar 10 minutes) WHENEVER SPECTRAL LINES DO NOT ORIGINATE IN ISOTROPIC TURBULENCE, WAVELENGTH SHIFTS RESULT … AND THE SAME MUST APPLY TO ALSO INTERGALACTIC CONVECTION, DRIVEN BY HEATING BY AGNs NEAR CLUSTER CENTERS (Even if timescales might be 100 Myr, rather than solar 10 minutes) Perseus cluster core in X-rays (Chandra), overlaid with Hα (WYIN). Arc-shaped Hα filaments suggest vortex-like flows. Density slices at three times. Viscosity stabilizes the bubble, allowing a flattened buoyant “cap” to form. X-ray brightness and inferred velocity field in Per-A can be reproduced. (Reynolds et al.: Buoyant radio-lobes in a viscous intracluster medium, MNRAS 357, 242, 2005)

INTERGALACTIC LINE ASYMMETRIES AND SHIFTS: ANALOGIES AND DIFFERENCES TO STELLAR CONVECTION: Plausible amount: 1 % of “general” line broadening = 0.5 – 1 km/s ? Mapping 3-D structure from different shifts in different lines ! Need line synthesis from 3-D hydrodynamic models ! Lines closer to cluster centers gravitationally more redshifted Mapping depth structure from multiple line components ? Probably useful to have resolving power approaching 1,000,000 ?? Resolving lateral structure from secular time changes ???
