3 D model of AGB star ( Emergent surface intensity)
The intensity movies show the star approximately as it might appear to the human eye (In detail: The emergent bolometric surface intensity is color coded with the standard redheat table, to get a color representation adequate for a AGB The boiling surface of the star shows irregular hot (white or yellow) and cool (red or darkred) areas. They change their intensity and shape on timescales of months.
