3D simulations of a complete convective silicon shell burning phase

V. Varma, R. Hirschi, F. Rizzuti +7

We present 3D hydrodynamic simulations of a complete silicon shell burning phase until fuel exhaustion at the end of the evolution of a 14 core-collapse supernova progenit…

The Impact of Initial Mass Dependent Convective Boundary Mixing on the Structure and Fates of Massive Stars

Emily E. Whitehead, Raphael Hirschi, Vishnu Varma +4

While convection has been known to play a key role in stars for many decades, its implementation in one-dimensional stellar evolution codes still represents a major uncertainty tod…

The fate of rotating massive stars across cosmic times

R. Hirschi, K. Goodman, G. Meynet +9

The initial mass and metallicity of stars both have a strong impact on their fate. Stellar axial rotation also has a strong impact on the structure and evolution of massive stars.…

Shell mergers in the late stages of massive star evolution: new insight from 3D hydrodynamic simulations

Federico Rizzuti, Raphael Hirschi, Vishnu Varma +6

One-dimensional (1D) stellar evolution models are widely used across various astrophysical fields, however they are still dominated by important uncertainties that deeply affect th…

3D simulations of convective shell Neon-burning in a massive star

C. Georgy, F. Rizzuti, R. Hirschi +6

The treatment of convection remains a major weakness in the modelling of stellar evolution with one-dimensional (1D) codes. The ever increasing computing power makes now possible t…
