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 ...

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 Conferences
The 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 ...

Is there a mass discrepancy in the Cepheid binary OGLE-LMC-CEP0227? [PDF]

, 2011
Context. The Cepheid mass discrepancy, the difference between masses predicted from stellar evolution and stellar pulsation calculations, is a challenge for the understanding of stellar astrophysics. Recent models of the eclipsing binary Cepheid OGLE-LMC-

The Mass-Metallicity and Luminosity-Metallicity Relation from DEEP2 at z ~ 0.8 [PDF]

, 1995
We present the mass-metallicity (MZ) and luminosity-metallicity (LZ) relations at z ~ 0.8 from ~1350 galaxies in the Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe 2 (DEEP2) survey.

The Power of Asteroseismology for Early Stellar Evolution

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
Stars are the building blocks of planetary systems, clusters, associations, and galaxies. The evolution of stars is driven by physical processes in their interiors making theory of stellar interior structure and evolution an important ingredient of ...

Updated High-temperature Opacities for the Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Program and Their Effect on the Jao Gap Location

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Jao Gap, a 17% decrease in stellar density at M _G ∼ 10 identified in both Gaia Data Release 2 and Early Data Release 3, presents a new method to probe the interior structure of stars near the fully convective transition mass.

POSYDON: A General-purpose Population Synthesis Code with Detailed Binary-evolution Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
Most massive stars are members of a binary or a higher-order stellar system, where the presence of a binary companion can decisively alter their evolution via binary interactions. Interacting binaries are also important astrophysical laboratories for the

Effects of thermohaline instability and rotation-induced mixing on the evolution of light elements in the Galaxy : D, 3He and 4He [PDF]

, 2012
Recent studies of low- and intermediate-mass stars show that the evolution of the chemical elements in these stars is very different from that proposed by standard stellar models.

Rotation and Stellar Evolution [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1981
Does rotation influence stellar evolution? Does it cause observational effects other than line broadening? Can rotation be responsible for mixing of chemical elements throughout the star? Do evolved stars have rapidly rotating cores? This, for instance, is of interest if one wants to compute the details of supernova events.
