Observing bright pulsating white dwarfs with PLATO: A new window into the late stages of stellar evolution
Murat Uzundag, Alejandro H. Corsico, Nicholas Jannsen +17
We present the scientific case for exploiting the capabilities of the PLATO mission to study bright pulsating white dwarfs across a wide spectral range, including hydrogen-deficien…
On the possibility of chemically driven convection in red giants. Implications for the He-core flash and mixing above the Red Giant Branch Bump
M. Miguel Ocampo, Marcelo M. Miller Bertolami
Turbulent mixing remains one of the primary uncertainties in the modeling of stellar interiors. In stellar evolution simulations, regions where mixing occurs are typically identifi…
Quantifying the Impact of the Dust Torque on the Migration of Low-mass Planets II: The Role of Pebble Accretion in Planet Growth within a Global Planet Formation Model
Octavio M. Guilera, Pablo Benitez-Llambay, Marcelo M. Miller Bertolami +1
Although dust constitutes only about 1% of the mass of a protoplanetary disk, recent studies demonstrate that it can exert a significant torque on low- and intermediate-mass planet…
The Ophiuchus DIsk Survey Employing ALMA (ODISEA): A Unified Evolutionary Sequence of Planet-Driven Substructures Explaining the Diversity of Disk Morphologies
Santiago Orcajo, Lucas A. Cieza, Octavio Guilera +21
Understanding the origin of substructures in protoplanetary disks and their connection to planet formation is currently one of the main challenges in astrophysics. While some disks…
PICS: Planetary Nebulae in Cosmological Simulations -- Revelations of the Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function from Realistic Stellar Populations
Lucas M. Valenzuela, Rhea-Silvia Remus, Marcelo M. Miller Bertolami +1
Even after decades of usage as an extragalactic standard candle, the universal bright end of the planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) still lacks a solid theoretical explana…
