Bolometric intensity contrast versus effective temperature
Larger symbols: lower gravity; yellow: Sun; red: dust;
stars: global 3D; squares: local 3D; triangles: local 2D.
Contrast increase with higher T
eff
and lower logg (up to a maximum)
High surface contrast also due to dust possible.
Convection and waves are responsible.
