We analyzed the luminosity-temperature (L-T) relation for 2 samples of galaxy clusters which have all been observed by the ASCA satellite. We used 32 high redshift clusters (0.3<z<0.6), 53 low redshift clusters (z<0.3), and also the…

The vital importance of composition-dependent low-temperature opacity in low-mass (M < 3Msun) asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stellar models of metallicity Z > 0.001 has recently been demonstrated (e.g. Marigo 2002; Ventura & Marigo 2010).…

Cool objects glow in the infrared. The gas and solid-state species that escape the stellar gravitational attraction of evolved late-type stars in the form of a stellar wind are cool, with temperatures typically $\la$1500\,K, and can be…

Modern spectroscopic surveys output large data volumes. Theoretical models provide a means to transform the information encoded in these data to measurements of physical stellar properties. However, in detail the models are incomplete and…

We present evolutionary synthesis models applied to near--infrared spectral features observed in the spectra of young Magellanic Cloud clusters and starburst galaxies. The temporal evolution of the first and second overtones of CO at 2.29…

The primordial elements, H, He and Li are included in a low temperature equation of state and monochromatic opacity function. The equation of state and opacity function are incorporated into the stellar evolution code NG-ELMS, which makes…
