Modelling time-dependent convective penetration in 1D stellar evolution
Cole Johnston, Mathias Michielsen, Evan H. Anders +7
1D stellar evolution calculations produce uncertain predictions for quantities like the age, core mass, core compactness, and nucleo-synthetic yields; a key source of uncertainty i…
MESA-Web: A cloud resource for stellar evolution in astronomy curricula
Carl E. Fields, Richard H. D. Townsend, A. L. Dotter +2
We present MESA-Web, a cloud resource with an online interface to the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) software instrument. MESA-Web allows learners to evolve…
Stellar Cruise Control: Weakened Magnetic Braking Leads to Sustained Rapid Rotation of Old Stars
Nicholas Saunders, Jennifer L. van Saders, Alexander J. Lyttle +8
Despite a growing sample of precisely measured stellar rotation periods and ages, the strength of magnetic braking and the degree of departure from standard (Skumanich-like) spindo…
