On the solar nickel and oxygen abundances
Pat Scott, Martin Asplund, Nicolas Grevesse +1
Determinations of the solar oxygen content relying on the neutral forbidden transition at 630 nm depend upon the nickel abundance, due to a Ni I blend. Here we rederive the solar n…
Impacts of WIMP dark matter upon stellar evolution: main-sequence stars
Pat Scott, Malcolm Fairbairn, Joakim Edsjö
The presence of large amounts of WIMP dark matter in stellar cores has been shown to have significant effects upon models of stellar evolution. We present a series of detailed grid…
Dark stars at the Galactic centre - the main sequence
Pat Scott, Malcolm Fairbairn, Joakim Edsjö
In regions of very high dark matter density such as the Galactic centre, the capture and annihilation of WIMP dark matter by stars has the potential to significantly alter their ev…
Low mass stellar evolution with WIMP capture and annihilation
Pat Scott, Joakim Edsjö, Malcolm Fairbairn
Recent work has indicated that WIMP annihilation in stellar cores has the potential to contribute significantly to a star's total energy production. We report on progress in simula…
The Zero Age Main Sequence of WIMP burners
Malcolm Fairbairn, Pat Scott, Joakim Edsjo
We modify a stellar structure code to estimate the effect upon the main sequence of the accretion of weakly interacting dark matter onto stars and its subsequent annihilation. The…
Line formation in solar granulation VII. CO lines and the solar C and O isotopic abundances
Patrick C. Scott, Martin Asplund, Nicolas Grevesse +1
CO spectral line formation in the Sun has long been a source of consternation for solar physicists, as have the elemental abundances it seems to imply. We modelled solar CO line fo…
