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 …

Convective boundary mixing in main-sequence stars: theory and empirical constraints

EH Anders, MG Pedersen - Galaxies, 2023 - mdpi.com
The convective envelopes of solar-type stars and the convective cores of intermediate-and
high-mass stars share boundaries with stable radiative zones. Through a host of processes …

N-enhancement in GN-z11: First evidence for supermassive stars nucleosynthesis in proto-globular clusters-like conditions at high redshift?

C Charbonnel, D Schaerer, N Prantzos… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Unusually high N/O abundance ratios were recently reported for a very compact, intensively
star-forming object GN-z11 at z= 10.6 from JWST/NIRSpec observations. We present an …

Direct imaging and astrometric detection of a gas giant planet orbiting an accelerating star

T Currie, GM Brandt, TD Brandt, B Lacy, A Burrows… - Science, 2023 - science.org
Direct imaging of gas giant exoplanets provides information on their atmospheres and the

Can Jupiter's Atmospheric Metallicity Be Different from the Deep Interior?

S Müller, R Helled - The Astrophysical Journal, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Updated formation and structure models of Jupiter predict a metal-poor envelope. This is at
odds with the two to three times solar metallicity measured by the Galileo probe …

Dam** Obliquities of Hot Jupiter Hosts by Resonance Locking

JJ Zanazzi, J Dewberry, E Chiang - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
When orbiting hotter stars, hot Jupiters are often highly inclined relative to their host star
equator planes. By contrast, hot Jupiters orbiting cooler stars are more aligned. Prior …

Magnetic field breakout from white dwarf crystallization dynamos

D Blatman, S Ginzburg - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT A convective dynamo operating during the crystallization of white dwarfs is one
of the promising channels to produce their observed strong magnetic fields. Although the …

Carbon–oxygen phase separation in modules for experiments in stellar astrophysics (MESA) white dwarf models

EB Bauer - The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We enhance the treatment of crystallization for models of white dwarfs (WDs) in the stellar
evolution software Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) by implementing …

Expansion of accreting main-sequence stars during rapid mass transfer

MYM Lau, R Hirai, I Mandel… - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Accreting main-sequence stars expand significantly when the mass accretion timescale is
much shorter than their thermal timescales. This occurs during mass transfer from an …
