Mining gravitational-wave catalogs to understand binary stellar evolution: A new hierarchical Bayesian framework [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2018 Catalogs of stellar-mass compact binary systems detected by ground-based gravitational-wave instruments (such as LIGO and Virgo) will offer insights into the demographics of progenitor systems and the physics guiding stellar evolution.

A Review of the Mixing Length Theory of Convection in 1D Stellar Modeling
Galaxies, 2023 We review the application of the one-dimensional Mixing Length Theory (MLT) model of convection in stellar interiors and low-mass stellar evolution.

The Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Database [PDF]
, 2008 The ever-expanding depth and quality of photometric and spectroscopic observations of stellar populations increase the need for theoretical models in regions of age-composition parameter space that are largely unexplored at present.

Improving 1D Stellar Models with 3D Atmospheres
EPJ 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 ...

Not All Stars Are the Sun: Empirical Calibration of the Mixing Length for Metal-poor Stars Using One-dimensional Stellar Evolution Models [PDF]
, 2017 Theoretical stellar evolution models are constructed and tailored to the best known, observationally derived characteristics of metal-poor ([Fe/H] ∼ −2.3) stars representing a range of evolutionary phases: subgiant HD 140283, globular cluster M92, and ...

Stellar Multiplicity Meets Stellar Evolution and Metallicity: The APOGEE View [PDF]
, 2017 We use the multi-epoch radial velocities acquired by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey to perform a large-scale statistical study of stellar multiplicity for field stars in the Milky Way, spanning the evolutionary

Coupling 1D stellar evolution with 3D-hydrodynamical simulations on the fly – I. A new standard solar model [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2018 Standard 1D stellar evolution models do not correctly reproduce the structure of the outermost layers of stars with convective envelopes. This has been a long-standing problem in stellar modelling affecting both the predicted evolutionary paths and the ...

Rotation and stellar evolution
EPJ 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

Progenitors of gravitational wave mergers: binary evolution with the stellar grid-based code ComBinE [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 The first gravitational wave detections of mergers between black holes and neutron stars represent a remarkable new regime of high-energy transient astrophysics. The signals observed with LIGO-Virgo detectors come from mergers of extreme physical objects

Planetary Engulfment Prognosis within the ρ CrB System
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Exoplanets have been detected around stars at various stages of their lives, ranging from young stars emerging from formation to the latter stages of evolution, including white dwarfs and neutron stars.
