Abstract
▪ Abstract Three cases for mixing not present in standard stellar models are presented: Light element depletion in low mass main-sequence stars, deep mixing in massive stars, and deep mixing in low mass giants. The review begins with the mixing indicators and the predictions of standard models. The observational evidence for anomalous mixing is then presented, followed by the physics of mixing outside the standard model. The status of theoretical models that include extra mixing is then examined.Keywords
