Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Planets, Oscillations, Rotation, and Massive Stars
- B. Paxton, M. Cantiello, R. Townsend
- Physics
- 2 January 2013
We substantially update the capabilities of the open source software package Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA), and its one-dimensional stellar evolution module, MESA star.…
MODULES FOR EXPERIMENTS IN STELLAR ASTROPHYSICS (MESA): BINARIES, PULSATIONS, AND EXPLOSIONS
- B. Paxton, P. Marchant, F. Timmes
- Physics
- 9 June 2015
We substantially update the capabilities of the open-source software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). MESA can now simultaneously evolve an interacting pair of…
MESA Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST). I: Solar-Scaled Models
- Jieun Choi, A. Dotter, C. Conroy, M. Cantiello, B. Paxton, Benjamin D. Johnson
- Physics, Geology
- 28 April 2016
This is the first of a series of papers presenting the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST) project, a new comprehensive set of stellar…
Rotating massive main-sequence stars - I. Grids of evolutionary models and isochrones
- I. Brott, S. D. Mink, J. Vink
- Physics, Geology
- 2 February 2011
We present a dense grid of evolutionary tracks and isochrones of rotating massive main-sequence stars. We provide three grids with different initial compositions tailored to compare with early OB…
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Pulsating Variable Stars, Rotation, Convective Boundaries, and Energy Conservation
We update the capabilities of the open-knowledge software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). RSP is a new functionality in MESAstar that models the non-linear radial…
Rotating massive main-sequence stars: II. Simulating a population of LMC early B-type stars as a test of rotational mixing
Context. Rotational mixing in massive stars is a widely applied concept, with far-reaching consequences for stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis, and stellar explosions. Aims. Nitrogen surface…
Sub-surface convection zones in hot massive stars and their observable consequences
- M. Cantiello, N. Langer, S.-C. Yoon
- Physics
- 11 March 2009
Context. We study the convection zones in the outer envelope of hot massive stars which are caused by opacity peaks associated with iron and helium ionization. Aims. We determine the occurrence and…
Off-axis prompt X-ray transients from the cocoon of short gamma-ray bursts
- D. Lazzati, D. López-Cámara, M. Cantiello, B. Morsony, R. Perna, Jared C. Workman
- Physics
- 5 September 2017
We present the results of numerical simulations of the prompt emission of short-duration gamma-ray bursts. We consider emission from the relativistic jet, the mildly relativistic cocoon, and the…
Evolution of Massive Stars with Pulsation-driven Superwinds During the Red Supergiant Phase
- Sung-Chul Yoon, M. Cantiello
- Physics
- 26 May 2010
Pulsations driven by partial ionization of hydrogen in the envelope are often considered important for driving winds from red supergiants (RSGs). In particular, it has been suggested by some authors…
Thermohaline mixing in evolved low-mass stars
- M. Cantiello, N. Langer
- Physics
- 7 June 2010
Context. Thermohaline mixing has recently been proposed to occur in low-mass red giants, with large consequence for the chemical yields of low-mass stars. Aims. We investigate the role of…
