The NuGrid AGB Evolution and Nucleosynthesis Data Set

Umberto Battino, Marco Pignatari, Ashley Tattersall +2

Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars play a key role in the chemical evolution of galaxies. These stars are the fundamental stellar site for the production of light elements such as…

Enhanced extra mixing in low-mass stars approaching the RGB tip and the problem of Li-rich red-clump stars

Pavel A. Denissenkov, Simon Blouin, Falk Herwig +2

A few percent of red giants are enriched in Lithium with . Their evolutionary status has remained uncertain because these Li-rich giants can be placed both on…

3D hydrodynamics simulations of a 3 core-helium burning star

Simon Blouin, Falk Herwig, Huaqing Mao +2

The inner structure of core-helium burning (CHeB) stars remains uncertain due to the yet unknown nature of mixing at the boundary of their cores. Large convective cores beyond a ba…

3D hydrodynamic simulations of massive main-sequence stars. III. The effect of radiation pressure and diffusion leading to a 1D equilibrium model

Huaqing Mao, Paul Woodward, Falk Herwig +4

We present 3-D hydrodynamical simulations of core convection with a stably stratified envelope of a \unit{25}{\Msun} star in the early phase of the main-sequence. We use the explic…

3D hydrodynamics simulations of core convection in supermassive main-sequence stars

Simon Blouin, Huaqing Mao, Tyrone E. Woods +3

Supermassive stars are Population III stars with masses exceeding that could be the progenitors of the first supermassive black holes. Their interiors are in a re…

3D hydrodynamics simulations of internal gravity waves in red giant branch stars

Simon Blouin, Huaqing Mao, Falk Herwig +3

We present the first 3D hydrodynamics simulations of the excitation and propagation of internal gravity waves (IGWs) in the radiative interiors of low-mass stars on the red giant b…
