The IACOB project XIX. Revisiting massive-star evolution with empirical TAMS constraints: updated models, overshoot calibration, and the population of blue supergiants

Luca Sciarini, Abel de Burgos, Sophie Rosu +3

Massive stars play a fundamental role in the evolution of the Universe. Yet, several physical processes governing their evolution remain poorly constrained. Notably, the main-seque…

The Beauty of k2: Probing Stellar Interiors Using Apsidal Motion. I. The Benchmark Massive Binary HD 152248

Sophie Rosu, Luca Sciarini, Sylvia Ekström +4

Over the last decades, several independent studies have shown the need for large convective boundary mixing (CBM) and convective core sizes in massive stars to reproduce a variety…

On the origin of the rotation of massive stars

André Oliva, Facundo D. Moyano, Luca Sciarini +3

We explore the origin of the rotation rates of massive stars. Contrary to their low-mass siblings, most massive stars do not have detectable magnetic fields, so that star-disk inte…

Chemical evolution of close massive binaries -- tidally-enhanced or tidally-suppressed mixing?

Luca Sciarini, Sophie Rosu, Sylvia Ekström +3

One of the largest source of uncertainties in the predictions of stellar models comes from the internal transport mechanisms. In close massive binaries, previous theoretical studie…

Apsidal Motion in O-Star Binaries: GENEC rotating binary models put to the k2-test

Sophie Rosu, Luca Sciarini, Sylvia Ekström +1

Unveiling massive stars' internal structure and the physical origin and efficiency of the internal mixing processes? It is now possible using the apsidal motion rate in close eccen…

One century data of τ CMa: a (2+1)+1 system with a short-period overcontact binary and an eccentric intermediate orbit with probably no apsidal motion

Sophie Rosu, Jesús Maíz Apellániz, Luca Sciarini +4

τ Canis Majoris (CMa) is an intriguing system that has captured astronomers' attention for more than a century. The two main components Aa and Ab are two evolved O stars on a 350…
