Not All Stars Are the Sun: Empirical Calibration of the Mixing Length for Metal-poor Stars Using One-dimensional Stellar Evolution Models [PDF]
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 ...

No Significant Evolution of Relations between Black Hole Mass and Galaxy Total Stellar Mass Up to z ∼ 2.5 [PDF]
We investigate the cosmic evolution of the ratio between black hole (BH) mass (MBH) and host galaxy total stellar mass (Mstellar) out to z ∼ 2.5 for a sample of 100 X-ray-selected moderate-luminosity, broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the ...

Chaotic Dynamics of Stellar Spin in Binaries and the Production of Misaligned Hot Jupiters
Motivated by observed hot Jupiter systems with high stellar obliquities, we examine the dynamics of stellar spin in planetary systems with distant stellar companions, with inclinations sufficiently high so that the planet undergoes Kozai-Lidov ...

The fates of massive stars: exploring uncertainties in stellar evolution with METISSE [PDF]
In the era of advanced electromagnetic and gravitational wave detectors, it has become increasingly important to effectively combine and study the impact of stellar evolution on binaries and dynamical systems of stars. Systematic studies dedicated to exploring uncertain parameters in stellar evolution are required to account for the recent observations

Asteroseismology and Spectropolarimetry of the Exoplanet Host Star λ Serpentis
The bright star λ Ser hosts a hot Neptune with a minimum mass of 13.6 M _⊕ and a 15.5 day orbit. It also appears to be a solar analog, with a mean rotation period of 25.8 days and surface differential rotation very similar to the Sun.

Full-lifetime simulations of multiple unequal-mass planets across all phases of stellar evolution [PDF]
We know that planetary systems are just as common around white dwarfs as around main-sequence stars. However, self-consistently linking a planetary system across these two phases of stellar evolution through the violent giant branch poses computational ...

The Evolution of Flare Activity with Stellar Age [PDF]
Using a recent census of flare stars from the Kepler survey, we have explored how flare activity evolves across stellar main-sequence lifetimes. We utilize a sample of 347 stars with robust flare activity detections and which have rotation periods ...

The ups and downs of inferred cosmological lithium [PDF]
I summarize the stellar side of the cosmological lithium problem(s). Evidence from independent studies is accumulating and indicates that stars may very well be fully responsible for lowering their surface lithium from the predicted primordial value to ...

To decipher complex patterns of gravity-mode period spacings observed for intermediate-mass main-sequence stars is an important step toward a better understanding of the structure and dynamics in the deep radiative region of the stars.
