Bolometric correction for cosmologically redshifted stars with dust: an update to the YBC database

Yang Chen, Xiaoting Fu, Léo Girardi +2

Observations from HST & JWST continue to reveal gravitationally magnified high-redshift star candidates, resulting in increasing demand for accurate stellar bolometric corrections…

The impact of envelope binding energies on the merger rate density of binary compact objects

Cecilia Sgalletta, Guglielmo Costa, Giuliano Iorio +8

The common envelope (CE) phase plays a key role in the formation of binary compact object systems. Its final outcome strongly depends on the envelope binding energy, but this quant…

A homogeneous view of asymptotic giant branch carbon stars as seen by Gaia

Alessio Liberatori, Despina Hatzidimitriou, Konstantinos Antoniadis +12

Carbon stars on the asymptotic giant branch are major contributors to galactic dust enrichment, with gas mass-loss rates up to 1e-4 Msun/yr. We present a homogeneous spectral energ…

Enhanced Mass Loss of Very Massive Stars: Impact on the Evolution, Binary Processes, and Remnant Mass Spectrum

Kendall G. Shepherd, Guglielmo Costa, Cristiano Ugolini +7

Very massive stars (VMS) play a fundamental role in astrophysics due to their winds and supernovae (SN), and their role as massive black hole (BH) progenitors. However, their origi…

AESOPUS 2.1: Low-Temperature Opacities Extended to High Pressure

Paola Marigo, Francesco Addari, Diego Bossini +5

We address the critical need for accurate Rosseland mean gas opacities in high-pressure environments, spanning temperatures from 100 K to 32000 K. Current opacity tables from Wichi…

The Impact of the Third Dredge-up and Mass Loss in Shaping the Initial-Final Mass Relation of White Dwarfs

Francesco Addari, Paola Marigo, Alessandro Bressan +3

The initial-final mass relation (IFMR) plays a crucial role in understanding stellar structure and evolution by linking a star's initial mass to the mass of the resulting white dwa…

AESOPUS 2.0: Low-Temperature Opacities with Solid Grains

P. Marigo, P. Woitke, E. Tognelli +3

In this study we compute the equation of state and Rosseland mean opacity from temperatures of T~30000 K down to T~400 K, pushing the capabilities of the AESOPUS code (Marigo et al…

Ne and Na ejecta from intermediate-mass stars: The impact of the new LUNA rate for Ne(p,)Na

A. Slemer, P. Marigo, D. Piatti +36

We investigate the impact of the new LUNA rate for the nuclear reaction NeNa on the chemical ejecta of intermediate-mass stars, with particular focus on the ther…

Pre-MS depletion, accretion and primordial 7Li

P. Molaro, A. Bressan, M. Barbieri +2

We reconsider the role of pre-main sequence (pre-MS) Li depletion on the basis of new observational and theoretical evidence: i) new observations of Halpha emissions in young clust…

Asteroseismology of old open clusters with Kepler: direct estimate of the integrated RGB mass loss in NGC6791 and NGC6819

A. Miglio, K. Brogaard, D. Stello +21

Mass loss of red giant branch (RGB) stars is still poorly determined, despite its crucial role in the chemical enrichment of galaxies. Thanks to the recent detection of solar-like…
