Unveiling stellar (and planetary) internal dynamics with the fully compressible MUSIC code

Arthur Le Saux, Isabelle Baraffe, Thomas Guillet +8

Multidimensional hydrodynamical simulations have transformed the study of stellar interiors over the past few decades. Most codes developed during that time use the anelastic appro…

Mass dependence of overshooting beneath convective envelopes

J. Pratt, I. Baraffe, M. -G. Dethero +3

Although the dependence of convective core overshooting on mass has attracted much attention, no corresponding work exists for overshooting below a convective envelope. We aim to q…

Convective shells in the interior of Cepheid variable stars: overshooting models based on hydrodynamic simulations

Maxime Stuck, Jane Pratt, Isabelle Baraffe +5

Because Cepheid variable stars have long been used as a cosmic benchmark, the accuracy of stellar evolution models for Cepheids have wide-reaching effects. Our goal is to provide a…

Mixing by Internal Gravity Waves in Stars: Assessing Numerical Simulations Against Theory

Jack Morton, Thomas Guillet, Isabelle Baraffe +5

Here we present a study of radial chemical mixing in non-rotating massive main-sequence stars driven by internal gravity waves (IGWs), based on multi-dimensional hydrodynamical sim…

The shape of convection in 2D and 3D global simulations of stellar interiors

M. -G. Dethero, J. Pratt, D. G. Vlaykov +5

Theoretical descriptions of convective overshooting often rely on a one-dimensional parameterization of the flow called the filling factor for convection. Several definitions of th…

Effects of stratification on overshooting and waves atop the convective core of main-sequence stars

Adrien Morison, Arthur Le Saux, Isabelle Baraffe +5

As a massive star evolves along the main sequence, its core contracts, leaving behind a stable stratification in helium. We simulate 2D convection in the core at three different st…
