Stellar Constitution

(Constitution des Etoiles)
Painting by Davis Melzer



Commission 35 consists of members of the International Astronomical Union whose research is concerned with the structure and evolution of stars in all parts of the H-R diagram. Their interests range from various aspects of stellar interior physics, such as convection, diffusion, and rotation, to asteroseismology and the prediction of the evolutionary and nucleosynthetic histories of stars that are of vital importance for our understanding of stellar populations and galactic chemical evolution.

Commission 35 is part of Division IV of the International Union (Stars), which is concerned with the characterization, interior and atmospheric structure, and evolution of stars of all masses, ages, and chemical compositions.   

Division IV acts as the umbrella for Commissions 26 - Double and Multiple Stars, 29 - Stellar Spectra, 35 - Stellar Constitution, 36 - Theory of Stellar Atmospheres, and 45 - Stellar Classification. 

Division IV has established three Working Groups: WG on Active B Stars, WG on Massive Stars, and WG on Red Giant Abundances.
