The evolution of stellar triples [PDF]
Context. Many stars do not live alone, but instead have one or more stellar companions. Observations show that these binaries, triples, and higher-order multiples are common. While the evolution of single stars and binaries have been studied extensively,

Coupling 1D stellar evolution with 3D-hydrodynamical simulations on-the-fly II: stellar evolution and asteroseismic applications [PDF]
Models of stellar structure and evolution are an indispensable tool in astrophysics, yet they are known to incorrectly reproduce the outer convective layers of stars. In the first paper of this series, we presented a novel procedure to include the mean

Fundamentals of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis [PDF]
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 ...

Stellar Chemical Evolution [PDF]
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 ...

Binary Black Hole Mergers from Field Triples: Properties, Rates, and the Impact of Stellar Evolution [PDF]
We consider the formation of binary black hole (BH) mergers through the evolution of field massive triple stars. In this scenario, favorable conditions for the inspiral of a BH binary are initiated by its gravitational interaction with a distant ...

The Power of Asteroseismology for Early Stellar Evolution
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 ...

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.

Classically and Asteroseismically Constrained 1D Stellar Evolution Models of α Centauri A and B Using Empirical Mixing Length Calibrations [PDF]
The bright, nearby binary α Centauri provides an excellent laboratory for testing stellar evolution models, because it is one of the few stellar systems for which we have high-precision classical (mass, radius, luminosity) and asteroseismic (p-mode ...

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

The Updated BaSTI Stellar Evolution Models and Isochrones. I. Solar-scaled Calculations [PDF]
We present an updated release of the BaSTI (a Bag of Stellar Tracks and Isochrones) stellar model and isochrone library for a solar-scaled heavy element distribution.
