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.…
