Red supergiants are massive evolved stars that contribute extensively to the chemical enrichment of our Galaxy. It has been shown that convection in those stars gives rise to large granules that cause surface inhomogeneities and shock waves…

Models of stellar structure and evolution are an indispensable tool in astrophysics, yet they are known to incorrectly reproduce the outer convective layers of stars. In the first paper of this series, we presented a novel procedure to…
We study the initial conditions of a common envelope (CE) event resulting in a stellar merger. A merger's dynamics could be understood through its light curve, but no synthetic light curve has yet been created for the full evolution. Using…
We investigate the evolution of super-AGB thermal pulse (TP) stars for a range of metallicities (Z) and explore the effect of convective boundary mixing (CBM). With decreasing metallicity and evolution along the TP phase, the He-shell flash…
We introduce our newly developed two different, three dimensional magneto hydrodynamical codes in detail. One of our codes is written in the Newtonian limit (NMHD) and the other is in the fully general relativistic code (GRMHD). Both codes…
Non-spherical structure in massive stars at the point of iron core collapse can have a qualitative impact on the properties of the ensuing core-collapse supernova explosions and the multi-messenger signals they produce. Strong perturbations…
By direct hydrodynamic simulation, using the Piecewise Parabolic Method (PPM) code PROMETHEUS, we study the properties of a convective oxygen burning shell in a SN 1987A progenitor star prior to collapse. The convection is too heterogeneous…
We present numerical results on three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic core-collapse simulations of an $11.2 M_{\odot}$ star. By comparing one-(1D) and two-dimensional(2D) results with those of 3D, we study how the increasing spacial…

A proposed setting for thermonuclear (Type Ia) supernovae is a white dwarf that has gained mass from a companion to the point of carbon ignition in the core. In the early stages of carbon burning, called the simmering phase, energy released…
We show that contrary to what is expected from 1D stationary model atmospheres, 3D hydrodynamical modeling predicts a considerable influence of convection on the spectral properties of late-type giants. This is due to the fact that…
Simplified, one-dimensional models are necessary to model convection in the context of stellar evolution. By including the non-local effects of convection, turbulent convection models describe convection in a more physical way compared to…
