Chemical element transport in stellar evolution models [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Stellar evolution computations provide the foundation of several methods applied to study the evolutionary properties of stars and stellar populations, both Galactic and extragalactic.

Binarity and Stellar Evolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011 AbstractModels of stellar evolution constitute an extremely powerful, and for the most part apparently very successful, tool for understanding the progression of a star through its lifetime as a fairly compact entity of incandescent gas. That success has led to stellar evolution theory becoming a crutch when an observer is faced with objects whose ...

Fundamentals of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesThe theory of stellar structure and evolution plays a pivotal role in modern astrophysics. Stellar evolution calculations are used to determine the ages and, to a lesser extent, distances of stars, which are critical to our knowledge of the history and ...

Intriguing Revelations from Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 This is a report on some highlights of research on the rare light elements, lithium (Li), beryllium (Be), and boron (B), that were presented at my Henry Norris Russell Lecture in 2020 January.

A new 12C+12C reaction rate: Impact on stellar evolution [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023 Among the reactions driving stellar evolution during carbon burning, 12C + 12C fusion provides the key ingredients. This system reveals many resonances, but also regions with suppressed fusion cross-sections.

Disentangling Stellar Age Estimates from Galactic Chemodynamical Evolution
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Stellar ages are key for determining the formation history of the Milky Way, but are difficult to measure precisely. Furthermore, methods that use chemical abundances to infer ages may entangle the intrinsic evolution of stars with the chemodynamical ...

Stellar Chemical Evolution [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997 One of the major achievements of astrophysics has been the demonstration that most of the chemical elements have been synthesized in stars: nucleosynthesis calculations of homogeneous and inhomogeneous big bang cosmologies show that, in comparison with the most metal-poor stars currently known, essentially no elements heavier than B existed at the era ...
