Toward a Comprehensive Grid of Cepheid Models with MESA II. Impact of Physical and Numerical Assumptions on Elemental Abundances

O. Ziółkowska, R. Smolec, A. Thoul +2

Modern tools for modeling stellar evolution, such as MESA (Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics), offer state-of-the-art implementations of stellar theories. However, th…

Toward a Comprehensive Grid of Cepheid Models with MESA I. Uncertainties of the Evolutionary Tracks of Intermediate-Mass Stars

Oliwia Ziółkowska, Radosław Smolec, Anne Thoul +3

Helium-burning stars, in particular Cepheids, are especially difficult to model, as the choice of free parameters can greatly impact the shape of the blue loops - the part of the e…

On The Impact Of 22Ne On The Pulsation Periods Of Carbon-Oxygen White Dwarfs With Helium Dominated Atmospheres

Morgan T. Chidester, F. X. Timmes, Josiah Schwab +6

We explore changes in the adiabatic low-order g-mode pulsation periods of 0.526, 0.560, and 0.729 M carbon-oxygen white dwarf models with helium-dominated envelopes due to…
