| Abstract: |
An overview of a round table discussion on the internal dynamics of stars, some problems in stellar structure and evolution, a study of stellar activity mechanisms using PRISMA, the seismology of sunlike stars, and directions of future research is presented. It is concluded that models that take into account just one physical process generally do not agree with the observations. This provides evidence for the presence of other physical processes. In each phenomenon which is considered, a variety of physical processes are involved. All physical processes should be taken into account simultaneously. Stars need to be considered globally. It is recommended that attention be given to such unsolved problems as the helium content of the sun, the abundance of lithium in fast rotating stars, and the origin and evolution of stellar magnetic fields. |
