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

open access: yes, 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-

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

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesThe 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]

open access: yes, 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.

Linking the formation and fate of exo-Kuiper belts within solar system analogues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Escalating observations of exo-minor planets and their destroyed remnants both passing through the solar system and within white dwarf planetary systems motivate an understanding of the orbital history and fate of exo-Kuiper belts and planetesimal discs.

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

open access: yes, 2011
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.

Improving 1D Stellar Models with 3D Atmospheres

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Stellar evolution codes play a major role in present-day astrophysics, yet they share common issues. In this work we seek to remedy some of those by the use of results from realistic and highly detailed 3D hydrodynamical simulations of stellar ...

The Evolution of Stellar Populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We summarize the discussion section on ``Evolution of Stellar Populations'' we led on May 27, 2000 in Granada, Spain, as part of the Euroconference on The Evolution of Galaxies. I- Observational Clues.

Rotation and stellar evolution

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The effects of rotation on the evolution and properties of low-mass stars are first discussed from the pre-main sequence to the red giant phase. We then briefly indicate how some observational constraints available for these stars can help us progress in

The propagation of uncertainties in stellar population synthesis modeling I: The relevance of uncertain aspects of stellar evolution and the IMF to the derived physical properties of galaxies

open access: yes, 2009
The stellar masses, mean ages, metallicities, and star formation histories of galaxies are now commonly estimated via stellar population synthesis (SPS) techniques.
