MESA-Web: A cloud resource for stellar evolution in astronomy curricula
Carl E. Fields, Richard H. D. Townsend, A. L. Dotter +2
We present MESA-Web, a cloud resource with an online interface to the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) software instrument. MESA-Web allows learners to evolve…
Seismic Signatures of the C(, )O Reaction Rate in White Dwarf Models with Overshooting
Morgan T. Chidester, F. X. Timmes, Ebraheem Farag
We consider the combined effects that overshooting and the C(, )O reaction rate have on variable white dwarf stellar models. We find that carbon-oxygen white dw…
A Highly Magnified Star at Redshift 6.2
Brian Welch, Dan Coe, Jose M. Diego +26
Galaxy clusters magnify background objects through strong gravitational lensing. Typical magnifications for lensed galaxies are factors of a few but can also be as high as tens or…
Resolving The Peak Of The Black Hole Mass Spectrum
Ebraheem Farag, Mathieu Renzo, Robert Farmer +2
Gravitational wave (GW) detections of binary black hole (BH) mergers have begun to sample the cosmic BH mass distribution. The evolution of single stellar cores predicts a gap in t…
JWST Imaging of Earendel, the Extremely Magnified Star at Redshift
Brian Welch, Dan Coe, Erik Zackrisson +60
The gravitationally lensed star WHL0137-LS, nicknamed Earendel, was identified with a photometric redshift based on images taken with the Hubble Space Tele…
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Time-Dependent Convection, Energy Conservation, Automatic Differentiation, and Infrastructure
Adam S. Jermyn, Evan B. Bauer, Josiah Schwab +19
We update the capabilities of the open-knowledge software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). The new auto_diff module implements automatic different…
