The solar chemical composition is an important ingredient in our understanding of the
formation, structure, and evolution of both the Sun and our Solar System. Furthermore, it is …

Pulsed power accelerators compress electrical energy in space and time to provide versatile
experimental platforms for high energy density and inertial confinement fusion science. The …

Context. The chemical composition of the Sun is required in the context of various studies in
astrophysics, among them in the calculation of standard solar models (SSMs) used to …

Precise and accurate parameters for late-type (late K and M) dwarf stars are important for
characterization of any orbiting planets, but such determinations have been hampered by …

We compute a new generation of standard solar models (SSMs) that includes recent
updates on some important nuclear reaction rates and a more consistent treatment of the …

Stellar physics and evolution calculations enable a broad range of research in astrophysics.
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) is a suite of open source, robust …

The first serious attempt to establish a comprehensive list of “cosmic abundances” was
made by the geochemist Victor Moritz Goldschmidt. During the 20s and 30s of the last …

Nearly a century ago it was recognized that radiation absorption by stellar matter controls
the internal temperature profiles within stars. Laboratory opacity measurements, however …

We are entering a golden era for stellar physics driven by satellite and telescope
observations of unprecedented quality and scope. New insights on stellar evolution and …

We investigate a class of rapidly growing emission line galaxies, known as 'Green Peas', first
noted by volunteers in the Galaxy Zoo project because of their peculiar bright green colour …
