Relocating Nonlinearity: How a Downstream Learner Reshapes What Genetic Programming Must Evolve

Nam H. Le

Genetic programming was conceived as a way of evolving solutions: the program is the answer, and fitness is the error of its own output. A substantial line of work instead makes th…

The impact of stellar binaries and star cluster dynamics on pair-instability supernovae

Francesco Gabrielli, Cristiano Ugolini, Lavinia Paiella +12

Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are among the most luminous transients in the Universe. However, they have never been confidently observed. Solving this puzzle would have key i…

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…

PARSEC V2.0: Rotating tracks and isochrones for seven addtional metallicities in the range Z=0.0001-0.03

C. T. Nguyen, G. Costa, A. Bressan +10

PARSEC v2.0 rotating stellar tracks were previously presented for six values of metallicity from subsolar to solar values, with initial rotation rates (, defined as t…

Impact of initial mass function on the chemical evolution of high-redshift galaxies

Boyuan Liu, Michela Mapelli, Volker Bromm +10

Recent observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found evidence for an invariant relation between stellar mass, metallicity, and star formation rate up to $z\sim 8…

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…

A new prescription for the spectral properties of population III stellar populations

Marie Lecroq, Stéphane Charlot, Alessandro Bressan +7

We investigated various emission properties of extremely low metallicity stellar populations in the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), using the new GALSEVN model, which has shown promis…

Evolutionary tracks, ejecta, and ionizing photons from intermediate-mass to very massive stars with PARSEC

G. Costa, K. G. Shepherd, A. Bressan +12

Recent advancements in stellar evolution modeling offer unprecedented accuracy in predicting the evolution and deaths of stars. We present new stellar evolutionary models computed…

Evolution and final fates of low- and intermediate-mass stars

Alessandro Bressan, Kendall Gale Shepherd

Stars are unique bodies of the Universe where self-gravity compress matter to such high temperature and density that several nuclear fusion reactions ignite, providing enough feedb…

The cosmic rate of Pair-Instability Supernovae

Francesco Gabrielli, Andrea Lapi, Lumen Boco +8

Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) have crucial implications for many astrophysical topics, including the search for very massive stars, the black hole mass spectrum, and galaxy c…

Grids of stellar models with rotation VIII: Models from 1.7 to 500 at metallicity

Yves Sibony, Kendall G. Shepherd, Norhasliza Yusof +12

Grids of stellar evolution models with rotation using the Geneva stellar evolution code (Genec) have been published for a wide range of metallicities. We introduce the last remaini…

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…
