The effect of gravitational darkening on models of the thermal structure of Be star disks is systematically studied for a wide range of Be star spectral types and rotation rates. Gravitational darkening causes a reduction of the stellar…
Thermal evolution of neutron stars is studied in the $f(R)=R+\alpha R^{2}$ theory of gravity. We first describe the equations of stellar structure and evolution for a spherically symmetric spacetime plus a perfect fluid at rest. We then…

The $f(R)$ gravity can be cast into the form of a scalar-tensor theory, and scalar degree of freedom can be suppressed in high-density regions by the chameleon mechanism. In this article, for the general $f(R)$ gravity, using a…
We investigate the cosmological solutions of the $f(T)$ gravity theory using the method of dynamical systems. For this purpose a general form of the $f(T)$ function is considered and four conditions are defined that they have to satisfy in…
The present work is to introduce a new kind of modified gravitational theory, named as $f(\mathcal{R,G,T})$ (also $f(\mathcal{R,T,G})$) gravity, where $\mathcal{R}$ is the Ricci scalar, $\mathcal{G}$ is Gauss-Bonnet invariant and…
We show that for a wide range of stellar masses, from 0.3 to 20 Msun, and for evolutionary phases from the main sequence to the beginning of the red giant stage, the stellar flux weighted gravity, g_F ~ g/Teff^4, is tightly correlated with…
We study electrically charged compact stars in the framework of extended theory of gravity (ETG). We assume that the charge density is proportional to the energy density. The polytropic equation of state is chosen to describe the state of…
We constrain the properties of massive binaries by comparing radial velocity data of Cygnus OB2 with Monte Carlo models. Our comparisons test several popular prescriptions for massive binary parameters. We explore a range of true binary…

General Relativistic Entropic Acceleration (GREA) gives a general framework in which to study multiple out-of-equilibrium phenomena in the context of general relativity, like the late accelerated expansion of the universe or the formation…
The inferred effective temperatures (T$_{\rm eff}$) and surface gravities of T Tauri stars (TTS) are usually contaminated by the presence of a non stellar continuum emission (veiling) and the strong chromospheric activity characteristic of…
Any light relic which was in thermal equilibrium with the Standard Model before it freezes out results in a shift in the effective number of neutrino species, $N_{eff}$. This quantity is being measured with increasing precision, and planned…
This paper rigorously examines the potential of the $f(T, \mathcal{T})$ theory as a promising framework for understanding the dark sector of the universe, particularly in relation to cosmic acceleration. The $f(T, \mathcal{T})$ theory…
