Classical Cases of Non-solar Mixing Length in Low Mass Stars
Rebecca Woody, Charlie Conroy, Phillip A. Cargile +1
The treatment of convection is one of the largest remaining uncertainties in models of low mass stars. The Mixing Length Theory (MLT) for super-adiabatic convection has come under…
A Bayesian Search for Planet Engulfment Signatures in Solar Analogs
Zimo Cheng, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Fan Liu +11
We present a systematic Bayesian search for chemical fingerprints of planet engulfment in 113 solar twins and analogs with high-precision abundance measurements, 45 of which host k…
Twists in the flow: revisiting convective mixing in rotating stellar models. I. Effect on the stellar structure
Poojan Agrawal, Aaron Dotter, Conny Aerts +2
Convection and rotation are both key processes in stellar evolution modelling. While standard mixing-length theory (MLT) provides a widely used modelling of convection, it neglects…
MESA Isochrones and Stellar Tracks. II. Models with alpha-enhanced chemical composition
A Dotter, E Bauer, MJ Park +4
We update and expand the MESA Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST) database to include variations in the alpha-capture elements, specifically [alpha/Fe]=-0.2, 0, +0.2, +0.4, and +0…
MESA Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST) III. The White Dwarf Cooling Sequence
Evan B. Bauer, Aaron Dotter, Charlie Conroy +3
We present a substantial update to the MESA Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST) library, extending the MIST model grids and isochrones down the white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence w…
Deriving Stellar Properties, Distances, and Reddenings using Photometry and Astrometry with BRUTUS
Joshua S. Speagle, Catherine Zucker, Angus Beane +18
We present brutus, an open source Python package for quickly deriving stellar properties, distances, and reddenings to stars based on grids of stellar models constrained by photome…
-MC: Self-consistent -enhanced stellar population models covering a wide range of age, metallicity, and wavelength
Minjung Park, Charlie Conroy, Benjamin D. Johnson +3
We present new stellar population models, -MC, self-consistently taking into account non-solar abundances for both isochrones and stellar spectra. The -MC models…
MESA-Web: A cloud resource for stellar evolution in astronomy curricula
Carl E. Fields, Richard H. D. Townsend, A. L. Dotter +2
We present MESA-Web, a cloud resource with an online interface to the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) software instrument. MESA-Web allows learners to evolve…
