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…
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Pulsating Variable Stars, Rotation, Convective Boundaries, and Energy Conservation
Bill Paxton, R. Smolec, Josiah Schwab +14
We update the capabilities of the open-knowledge software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). RSP is a new functionality in MESAstar that models the…
The Impact of White Dwarf Luminosity Profiles on Oscillation Frequencies
F. X. Timmes, Richard H. D. Townsend, Evan B. Bauer +3
KIC 08626021 is a pulsating DB white dwarf of considerable recent interest, and first of its class to be extensively monitored by Kepler for its pulsation properties. Fitting the o…
Non-Radial Pulsations in Post-Outburst Novae
William M. Wolf, Richard H. D. Townsend, Lars Bildsten
After an optical peak, a classical or recurrent nova settles into a brief (days to years) period of quasi-stable thermonuclear burning in a compact configuration nearly at the whit…
The Impact of Nuclear Reaction Rate Uncertainties On The Evolution of Core-Collapse Supernova Progenitors
C. E. Fields, F. X. Timmes, R. Farmer +3
We explore properties of core-collapse supernova progenitors with respect to the composite uncertainties in the thermonuclear reaction rates by coupling the reaction rate probabili…
