Nuclear burning and mixing in the first stars: entrainment at a convective boundary using the PPB advection scheme
Paul Woodward, Falk Herwig, David Porter +3
The evolution of the first generations of stars at zero or extremly low metallicity, and especially some crucial properties like the primary N14 production, is charactarized by con…
The Formation of Hydrogen Deficient Stars through Common Envelope Evolution
Steven Diehl, Chris Fryer, Falk Herwig
We present preliminary results from Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of common envelope evolution. We qualitatively compare the interaction between a 0.9M red giant…
Convective and non-convective mixing in AGB stars
Falk Herwig, Bernd Freytag, Tyler Fuchs +5
We review the current state of modeling convective mixing in AGB stars. The focus is on results obtained through multi-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of AGB convection, both…
The Second Stars
Falk Herwig
The ejecta of the first probably very massive stars polluted the Big Bang primordial element mix with the first heavier elements. The resulting ultra metal-poor abundance distribut…
The onset of photoionization in Sakurai's Object (V4334 Sgr)
P. A. M. van Hoof, M. Hajduk, Albert A. Zijlstra +6
We investigate the reheating of the very late thermal pulse (VLTP) object V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object) using radio observations from the Very Large Array, and optical spectra obtai…
The Supernova Channel of Super-AGB Stars
A. J. T. Poelarends, F. Herwig, N. Langer +1
We study the late evolution of solar metallicity stars in the transition region between white dwarf formation and core collapse. This includes the super-asymptotic giant branch (su…
