How Much do we Trust Stellar Models? Foreword
Abstract
The aim of this workshop was to bring together experts of theoretical stellar physics and Galactic archeology to discuss the current issues connected to stellar structure and evolution. Topics ranged from microphysical ingredients such as atomic diffusion and radiative opacities to macrophysical pro-cesses such as rotational mixing and turbulence and their connexion to the solar modeling problem, the evolution of solar-like and massive stars, as well as the modeling of red giants and the importance of these Galactic candles to unravel the history of the Galaxy.
