Mixing due to internal gravity waves can explain the CNO surface abundances of B-type detached eclipsing binaries and single stars
Hannah E. Brinkman, Andrew Tkachenko, Conny Aerts
Observations of double-lined spectroscopic eclipsing binaries are ideal to study stellar evolution. They have tight model-independent constraints on their masses and radii. With th…

The Occurrence and Impact of Carbon-Oxygen Shell Mergers in Massive Stars
L. Roberti, M. Pignatari, H. E. Brinkman +6
In their final stages before undergoing a core-collapse supernova, massive stars may experience mergers between internal shells where carbon (C) and oxygen (O) are consumed as fuel…
