We investigate the pulsation properties of stellar models representative of $\delta$ Scuti and $\gamma$ Doradus variables. We have calculated a grid of stellar models from 1.2 to 2.2 M$_{\odot}$, including the effects of both rotation and…
Context. Abundance anomalies observed in a fraction of A and B stars of both Pop I and II are apparently related to internal particle transport. Aims. Using available constraints from Sirius A, we wish to determine how well evolutionary…
The importance of Partial Redistribution (PRD) in the modelling of the Lyman Alpha and Lyman Beta emission lines of hydrogen in stellar atmospheres is examined using simple atmospheric models of a range of late-type stars. These models…
We present the Pre-Main-Sequence (PMS) evolutionary tracks of stars with 0.0065~5.0Ms. The models were evolved from the PMS stellar birthline to the onset of hydrogen burning in the core. The convective turnover timescales which enables an…
Recent observations and theoretical studies support the theory that solar-type oscillations are intrinsically stable but excited stochastically by the turbulent convection in the outer layers of the star. The acoustic noise generated by the…
Stellar evolution models which include the effect of helium and heavy element diffusion have been calculated for initial iron abundances of [Fe/H] = -2.3, -2.1, -1.9 and -1.7. These models were calculated for a large variety of masses and…
In this paper we present a grid of stellar evolution models, computed with an up-to-date physical description of the internal structure, using the Code d'Evolution Stellaire Adaptatif et Modulaire (CESAM). The evolutionary sequences span…
Axion production from astrophysical bodies is a topic in continuous development, because of theoretical progress in the estimate of stellar emission rates and, especially, because of improved stellar observations. We carry out a…
We present a generalization of the multiphase chemical evolution model applied to a wide set of theoretical galaxies with different masses and morphological types. This generalized set of models has been computed using the so-called…
Extreme helium stars are very rare low-mass supergiants in a late stage of evolution. They are probably contracting to become white dwarfs following a violent phase of evolution which caused them to become hydrogen-deficient giants,…
Reliable predictions of mass-loss rates are important for massive-star evolution computations. We aim to provide predictions for mass-loss rates and wind-momentum rates of O-type stars, carefully studying the behaviour of these winds as…
Successful inference from asteroseismology relies on at least two things: that the oscillations in the stars have amplitudes large enough to be clearly observable; and that the oscillations themselves be stable enough to enable precise…
It has been known for several decades that transport of chemical elements is induced by the process of microscopic atomic diffusion. Yet, the effect of atomic diffusion, including radiative levitation, has hardly been studied in the context…
[abridged] We have assembled a database of stars having both masses determined from measured orbital dynamics and sufficient spectral and photometric information for their placement on a theoretical HR diagram. Our sample consists of 115…
The impact of new stellar evolution models with rotation on the predictions of population synthesis models is discussed. Massive rotating stars have larger convective cores than their non-rotating counterparts, and their outer layers are…
Stars are sphere of hot gas whose interiors transmit acoustic waves very efficiently. Geologists learn about the interior structure of Earth by monitoring how seismic waves propagate through it and, in a similar way, the interior of a star…
Aims: We develop a method for estimating the properties of stellar winds for low-mass main-sequence stars between masses of 0.4 and 1.1 solar masses at a range of distances from the star. Methods: We use 1D thermal pressure driven…
Hot subdwarfs are helium burning objects in late stages of their evolution. These stars can develop winds driven by light absorption in the lines of heavier elements. The wind strength depends on chemical composition which can significantly…
We examine the time evolution of the frequencies of the gravitational wave after the bounce within the framework of relativistic linear perturbation theory using the results of one dimensional numerical simulations of core-collapse…
Using hydrodynamic simulations we investigate the rotational properties and angular momentum evolution of prestellar and protostellar cores formed from gravoturbulent fragmentation of interstellar gas clouds. We find the specific angular…
