I Resources to find Data/Models for Nonradial Pulsations of Va

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking resources for data and models related to non-radial pulsations of stars for an animated visualization project. Suggestions include exploring the solar satellite website and considering the star Mira (Omicron Ceti) as a potential model due to its historical significance in variable star studies. The discussion also touches on the use of Blender for the animation, emphasizing the need for particles and dynamics capabilities for 3-D effects. Additional resources like articles on super flares may provide useful context. The conversation highlights the importance of using real or theoretical data for accurate visual representation.

Hello! I'm currently working on a project in which I need to make an animated visualization demonstrating the physical changes and luminosity changes of a star with non radial stellar pulsations. This visualization has to be based on real or theoretical data or a real or theoretical model but I don't know where to start looking for this data that I can use as a basis for my visualization. Does anyone know any good resources for this that they can suggest?

Thanks,
Sam

You might try the solar satellite web site. Are you writing the imaging software or using a commercial package?

Thanks. I'll look into that. I'm using a commercial package: Blender

I'm not familiar with Blender, but I'm pretty sure you're going to need particles and dynamics capabilities in your software if you're doing anything in 3-D.
There was also an interesting article on super flares on a nearby type M on Phys.org.

Thanks. I think I really only need it to become brighter and dimmer and to simultaneously expand and contract.
 
What about Mira? (Omicron Ceti) Mira is the first Cephid variable discovered, and may be what you are expected to model.
