The Effects of Magnetic Fields on the Dynamics of Radiation Pressure Dominated Massive Star Envelopes

Yan-Fei Jiang, Matteo Cantiello, Lars Bildsten +2

We use three dimensional radiation magneto-hydrodynamic simulations to study the effects of magnetic fields on the energy transport and structure of radiation pressure dominated ma…

On Variations Of Pre-Supernova Model Properties

R. Farmer, C. E. Fields, I. Petermann +4

We explore the variation in single star 15-30 , non-rotating, solar metallicity, pre-supernova MESA models due to changes in the number of isotopes in a fully-coupl…

Conversion of Internal Gravity Waves into Magnetic Waves

Daniel Lecoanet, Geoffrey M Vasil, Jim Fuller +2

Asteroseismology probes the interiors of stars by studying oscillation modes at a star's surface. Although pulsation spectra are well understood for solar-like oscillators, a subst…

Suppression of quadrupole and octupole modes in red giants observed by Kepler

D. Stello, M. Cantiello, J. Fuller +2

The asteroseismology of red giant stars has continued to yield surprises since the onset of high-precision photometry from space-based observations. An exciting new theoretical res…

Asteroseismic signatures of evolving internal stellar magnetic fields

Matteo Cantiello, Jim Fuller, Lars Bildsten

Recent asteroseismic analyses have revealed the presence of strong (B G) magnetic fields in the cores of many red giant stars. Here, we examine the implications of t…
