Author Description

These 38 papers from the July 2002 conference describe novel observational techniques for creating three-dimensional pictures of the internal structure of the sun, binary mass transfer, and differential rotation, and present recent developments in multi-dimensional algorithms, binary star evolution, convection, pulsation, and explosive events. Specific topics include a 3D stellar evolution code named Djehuty, magnetic dynamos in common envelope evolution, the controversy over the oxygen abundances of the oldest stars, and pointwise ignition of helium deflagrations on neutron stars.
