摘要:We continue our study of the core helium flash using the three dimensional hydrodynamics code
Djehuty. Continuing from earlier calculations, we now take relaxed 3D configurations and add
various amounts of rotation. We find that rotation periods consistent with those observed in white
dwarfs produce negligible changes in the structure and evolution of the core flash, at least for the
very small timescales we have yet been able to investigate. There is no sign of any extra mixing
due to the rotation. There is some inconclusive evidence for a slight change in the luminosity, at
the 1% level.
