Radial Stellar Pulsations
... In such a case, luminosity decreases when the star contracts and its temperature rises, trapping heat in the interior and raising the entropy; the reverse is true when the star expands. During one period of oscillation, most mass shells then execute a clockwise closed path in the (S, T ) and (V, P ) ...
