Rotational mixing in tidally locked massive main-sequence binaries
S. E. de Mink, M. Cantiello, N. Langer +1
One of the main uncertainties in evolutionary calculations of massive stars is the efficiency of internal mixing. It changes the chemical profile inside the star and can therefore…
Thermohaline mixing in low-mass giants: RGB and beyond
M. Cantiello, H. Hoekstra, N. Langer +1
Thermohaline mixing has recently been proposed to occur in low mass red giants, with large consequence for the chemical yields of low mass stars. We investigate the role of thermoh…
Simulating CCD images of elliptical galaxies
M. Cantiello, G. Raimondo, E. Brocato +2
We introduce a procedure developed by the ``Teramo Stellar Populations Tools'' group (Teramo-SPoT), specifically optimized to obtain realistic simulations of CCD images of elliptic…
Surface Brightness Fluctuations: a theoretical point of view
M. Cantiello, G. Raimondo, E. Brocato +1
We present new theoretical evaluations of optical and near-IR Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) magnitudes for single-burst stellar populations in the age range t=5-15 Gyr and…
