Updated Electron-Conduction Opacities: The Impact on Low-Mass Stellar Models
S. Cassisi, A. Y. Potekhin, A. Pietrinferni +2
We review the theory of electron-conduction opacity, a fundamental ingredient in the computation of low-mass stellar models; shortcomings and limitations of the existing calculatio…
A Large Stellar Evolution Database for Population Synthesis Studies. III. Inclusion of the full Asymptotic Giant Branch phase and Web tools for stellar population analyses
Daniel Cordier, Adriano Pietrinferni, Santi Cassisi +1
Stellar evolution tracks and isochrones are key inputs for a wide range of astrophysical studies; in particular, they are essential to the interpretation of photometric and spectro…
Models for extremely metal-poor halo stars
A. Weiss, H. Schlattl, M. Salaris +2
Two alternative scenarios concerning the origin and evolution of extremely metal-poor halo stars are investigated. The first one assumes that the stars have been completely metal-f…
Quantum corrections to microscopic diffusion constants
H. Schlattl, M. Salaris
We review the state of the art regarding the computation of the resistance coefficients in conditions typical of the stellar plasma, and compare the various results studying their…
First full evolutionary computation of the He-flash induced mixing in Population II stars
S. Cassisi, H. Schlattl, M. Salaris +1
The core helium-flash in low-mass stars with extreme mass loss occurs after the tip of the RGB, when the H-rich envelope is very thin. The low efficiency of the H-shell source enab…
Resolving the 47 Tucanae Distance Problem
Susan M. Percival, Maurizio Salaris, Francois van Wyk +1
Using a sample of 43 suitable local subdwarfs with newly acquired BVI photometry, we apply our main sequence fitting method to the metal rich Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae. Fitting i…
