Steven Cranmer's Publications

The main part of this page lists articles in refereed journals, and the entries are listed in (approximate) reverse chronological order. At the end is a brief (currently one item) list of books edited. The list of authors on most entries contains a link to ADS Abstracts (and from there to many of the full papers). Where available, there are also links to online PREPRINTS and REPRINTS.

Presentations at conferences are listed on a separate page, as are miscellaneous works such as articles for non-specialists, unpublished notes, and informal talks.

The colors of the bullets give a rough indication of the topics of the papers: BLUE for hot stars, YELLOW for the Sun, and RED for cool stars.
