Three Dimensional Radiation Hydrodynamic Simulations of Massive Star Envelopes
Yan-Fei Jiang, Matteo Cantiello, Lars Bildsten +3
(Abridged) Stars more massive than are so luminous that the radiation force on the cooler, more opaque outer layers can balance or exceed the force of gravity. The…
Increases to Inferred Rates of Planetesimal Accretion Due to Thermohaline Mixing in Metal Accreting White Dwarfs
Evan B. Bauer, Lars Bildsten
Many isolated, old white dwarfs (WDs) show surprising evidence of metals in their photospheres. Given that the timescale for gravitational sedimentation is astronomically short, th…
Variability of Red Supergiants in M31 from the Palomar Transient Factory
Monika D. Soraisam, Lars Bildsten, Maria R. Drout +9
Most massive stars end their lives as Red Supergiants (RSGs), a short-lived evolution phase when they are known to pulsate with varying amplitudes. The RSG period-luminosity (PL) r…
Non-Radial Pulsations in Post-Outburst Novae
William M. Wolf, Richard H. D. Townsend, Lars Bildsten
After an optical peak, a classical or recurrent nova settles into a brief (days to years) period of quasi-stable thermonuclear burning in a compact configuration nearly at the whit…
