Evolutionary status of Polaris
@article{Fadeyev2015EvolutionarySO, title={Evolutionary status of Polaris}, author={Yu. A. Fadeyev}, journal={Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society}, year={2015}, volume={449}, pages={1011-1017} }
Hydrodynamic models of short--period Cepheids were computed to determine the pulsation period as a function of evolutionary time during the first and third crossings of the instability strip. The equations of radiation hydrodynamics and turbulent convection for radial stellar pulsations were solved with the initial conditions obtained from the evolutionary models of population I stars (X=0.7, Z=0.02) with masses from 5.2 to 6.5 Msol and the convective core overshooting parameter 0.1 <= aov <= 0…
