Self-Consistent Nonlinear Classical Cepheid Pulsations During Stellar Evolution with MESA
Ebraheem Farag, Earl P. Bellinger, Philip Mocz +5
We extend the time-dependent convection treatment in \code{MESA} by introducing eddy-viscous damping. This software change brings \code{MESA-TDC} into closer alignment with the rad…
Red-Giant Asteroseismology of Low-Mass Population III Stars
Thiago Ferreira, Earl P. Bellinger, Ebraheem Farag +1
Low-mass stars from the first epoch of star formation may still persist in the Milky Way and its satellite dwarf galaxies today; however, their detection is confounded by surface p…
Evolution of Low-Mass Population III Stars: Convection, Mass Loss, Nucleosynthesis, and Neutrinos
Thiago Ferreira, Earl P. Bellinger, Ebraheem Farag +1
The first stars likely formed from pristine clouds, marking a transformative epoch after the dark ages by initiating reionisation and synthesising the first heavy elements. Among t…
Massive stellar cannibals: How stellar mergers drive mass-loss in extremely massive stars
J. Roman-Garza, T. Fragos, C. Charbonnel +3
It has been theorized that the formation of extremely massive and supermassive stars () could plausibly be the outcome of stellar mergers in low metallicity (…
