A blue-straggler merger scenario origin for the ~Persei binary system

D. Tarczay-Nehéz, L. Molnár, R. Z. Ádám

We used \texttt{MIST} isochrone fitting and a dedicated grid of stellar evolution models computed with MESA to constrain the ages of the components of the Persei binary system…

MESAlab: A Python pipeline for MESA grid processing with integrated GYRE/MESA-RSP execution

D. Tarczay-Nehéz

Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) is a widely used open-source code for modeling stellar evolution. Many applications of the code rely on large computational g…

Trajectory-Based Dust Evolution in Disks: First Results from the RAPID Simulation Code

D. Tarczay-Nehéz

The rapid depletion of dust particles in protoplanetary disks limits the time available for planetesimal formation, as solids are typically accreted onto the central star before du…

Stranger Things: A Grid-based Survey of Strange Modes in Post-Main Sequence Models

D. Tarczay-Nehéz, L. Molnár, M. Joyce

We present a systematic survey of strange mode pulsations in Cepheids using MESA and for the linear stability analysis, MESA RSP. Our model grid spans in mass and […

Stellar Evolution in Real Time II: R Hydrae and an Open-Source Grid of >3000 Seismic TP-AGB Models Computed with MESA

Meridith Joyce, László Molnár, Giulia Cinquegrana +3

We present a comprehensive characterization of the evolved thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) star R Hydrae, building on the techniques applied in Stellar Evolution…
