A review of the mixing length theory of convection in 1D stellar modeling

M Joyce, J Tayar - Galaxies, 2023 - mdpi.com
We review the application of the one-dimensional Mixing Length Theory (MLT) model of
convection in stellar interiors and low-mass stellar evolution. We summarize the history of …

Modeling the panchromatic spectral energy distributions of galaxies
