The Distances to Open Clusters from Main-Sequence Fitting. III. Improved Accuracy with Empirically Calibrated Isochrones
Deokkeun An, Donald M. Terndrup, Marc H. Pinsonneault +3
We continue our series of papers on open cluster distances with a critical assessment of the accuracy of main-sequence fitting using isochrones that employ empirical corrections to…
The Solar Heavy Element Abundances: II. Constraints from Stellar Atmospheres
M. H. Pinsonneault, Franck Delahaye
Estimates of the bulk metal abundance of the Sun derived from the latest generation of model atmospheres are significantly lower than the earlier standard values. In Paper I we dem…
Fluorine Abundance Variations as a Signature of Enhanced Extra Mixing in Red Giants of the Globular Cluster M4
Pavel A. Denissenkov, Marc Pinsonneault, Donald M. Terndrup
We show that enhanced extra mixing in low-mass red giants can result in a fluorine abundance that is correlated with abundance variations of other elements participating in H burni…
Protecting Life in the Milky Way: Metals Keep the GRBs Away
K. Z. Stanek, O. Y. Gnedin, J. F. Beacom +7
The host galaxies of the five local, z<0.25, long-duration gamma-ray bursts, each of which had a well-documented associated supernova, are all faint and metal-poor compared to the…
A Revised Prescription for the Tayler-Spruit Dynamo: Magnetic Angular Momentum Transport in Stars
Pavel A. Denissenkov, Marc Pinsonneault
Angular momentum transport by internal magnetic fields is an important ingredient for stellar interior models. In this paper we critically examine the basic heuristic assumptions i…
