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…
