Updated Electron-Conduction Opacities: The Impact on Low-Mass Stellar Models
S. Cassisi, A. Y. Potekhin, A. Pietrinferni +2
We review the theory of electron-conduction opacity, a fundamental ingredient in the computation of low-mass stellar models; shortcomings and limitations of the existing calculatio…
ESC and KAIT Observations of the Transitional Type Ia SN 2004eo
A. Pastorello, P. A. Mazzali, G. Pignata +31
We present optical and infrared observations of the unusual Type Ia supernova (SN) 2004eo. The light curves and spectra closely resemble those of the prototypical SN 1992A, and the…
A Large Stellar Evolution Database for Population Synthesis Studies. III. Inclusion of the full Asymptotic Giant Branch phase and Web tools for stellar population analyses
Daniel Cordier, Adriano Pietrinferni, Santi Cassisi +1
Stellar evolution tracks and isochrones are key inputs for a wide range of astrophysical studies; in particular, they are essential to the interpretation of photometric and spectro…
The double main sequence of Omega Centauri
L. R. Bedin, G. Piotto, J. Anderson +4
Recent, high precision photometry of Omega Centauri, the biggest Galactic globular cluster, has been obtained with Hubble Space Telescope. The color magnitude diagram reveals an un…
Models for extremely metal-poor halo stars
A. Weiss, H. Schlattl, M. Salaris +2
Two alternative scenarios concerning the origin and evolution of extremely metal-poor halo stars are investigated. The first one assumes that the stars have been completely metal-f…
The evolutionary properties of intermediate-mass stars
S. Cassisi
We briefly review the main problems related to the computation of the evolution of intermediate-mass stars: the treatment of turbulent convection and the occurrence of blue loops d…
