During the
, I supervised student Hachem Dhouib from CEA Saclay to study this in a 3 solar mass ZAMS star using the &lt;code&gt;MagIC&lt;/code&gt; code. The star has a convective zone in the center, followed by a stably stratified layer at the top. We found that the emanation of internal gravity waves in the radiative zone leads to an angular momentum transport in the star. Read the full project report
