We present new evolutionary models for zero-metallicity stars, covering a large range of initial masses (from 0.8 to 100 M_sun). Models are computed with overshooting from stellar cores and convective envelopes, and assuming mass-loss from…

Recent observations estimate that 30% of early B and O-type stars are found in triple systems. So far, the evolution of triple star systems has mainly been modeled using fast stellar codes. Their accuracy decreases with increasing mass,…

Mass changes due to strong stellar winds and binary mass transfer have a dramatic impact on the consequent evolution of stars. This is generally not accounted for in population synthesis codes which are built using single star evolution…

The development of evolutionary stellar population models is central to interpreting observations of galaxies in terms of astrophysical quantities. Stellar population models must therefore be both accurate and compatible with inversion…

We present a large grid of stellar evolutionary tracks, which are suitable to modelling star clusters and galaxies by means of population synthesis. The tracks are presented for the initial chemical compositions [Z=0.0004, Y=0.23],…

Stellar evolution codes play a major role in present-day astrophysics, yet they share common simplifications related to the outer layers of stars. We seek to improve on this by the use of results from realistic and highly detailed 3D…

Massive and very massive stars can play important roles in stellar populations by ejecting strong stellar winds and exploding in energetic phenomena. It is therefore imperative that their behavior be properly accounted for in synthetic…
