Stellar collisions have long been envisioned to be of great importance in the center of galaxies where densities of 1e6 stars per cubic pc or higher are attained. Not only can they play a unique dynamical role by modifying stellar masses…

Stellar oscillations can provide a wealth of information about a star, which can be extracted from observed time series of the star's brightness or radial velocity. In this paper we address the question of how to extract as much information…

We introduce the Theoretical Astrophysical Observatory (TAO), an online virtual laboratory that houses mock observations of galaxy survey data. Such mocks have become an integral part of the modern analysis pipeline. However, building them…

We present a Monte Carlo (MC) code we wrote to simulate the photospheric process and to study the photospheric spectrum above the peak energy. Our simulations were performed with a photon to electron ratio $N_{\gamma}/N_{e} = 10^{5}$, as…
