The current Hubble constant tension is usually presented by comparing constraints on $H_0$ only. However, the post-recombination background cosmic evolution is determined by two parameters in the standard $\Lambda$CDM model, the Hubble…
The time evolution of galaxy cluster abundance is used to constrain cosmological parameters in dark matter models containing a fraction of hot particles (massive neutrino). We test the modified MDM models with cosmic gravitational waves…
Binaries that contain a hot subdwarf (sdB) star and a main sequence companion may have interacted in the past. This binary population has historically helped determine our understanding of binary stellar evolution. We have computed a grid…
A theory of the cosmological constant Lambda is currently out of reach. Still, one can start from a set of axioms that describe the most desirable properties a cosmological constant should have. This can be seen in certain analogy to the…
We analyze a 3D hydrodynamic simulation of common envelope evolution to understand how energy is transferred between various forms and whether theory and simulation are mutually consistent given the setup. Virtually all of the envelope…
We use a sample of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to search for correlations between the $\lambda$ spin parameter and the environment and mass of galaxies. In order to calculate the total value of $\lambda$ for each…
Massive stars are the key engines of the Universe. However, their evolution and thus their ionizing feedback are still not fully understood. One of the largest gaps in current stellar evolution calculations is the lack of a model for the…
In a previous paper we have shown that the function \Gamma(M, EOS)=\alpha\beta_{GR}/\Lambda^{0.9}(R) is constant (~ 0.4) for pre main-sequence stars (PMS), white dwarfs (WD) and for some neutron star (NS) models, where \alpha_{GR} and…
The cosmological constant $\Lambda$ is a free parameter in Einstein's equations of gravity. We propose to fix its value with a boundary condition: test particles should be free when outside causal contact, e.g. at infinity. Under this…
We study the evolution of the configuration entropy for different combinations of $\Omega_{m0}$ and $\Omega_{\Lambda0}$ in the flat $\Lambda$CDM universe and find that the cosmological constant plays a decisive role in controlling the…
Stellar mergers and common-envelope evolution are fast (dynamical-timescale) interactions in binary stars that drastically alter their evolution. They are key to understanding a plethora of astrophysical phenomena. Stellar mergers are…
The upper Asymptotic Giant Branch is populated with oxygen rich and carbon rich Long Period Variables. These stars are essential contributors to the near-IR light of intermediate age stellar populations. Individual observed spectra of LPVs…
Stellar models are calculated in the approximation of a uniform density distribution. Variational method was used for determination of the boundary of a stability loss, for stellar masses in the range from 2 up to $10^5$ $M_{\odot}$. The…
We derive the equation for pressure within a neutron star, taking into account a non-zero cosmological constant ($\Lambda$). We then examine the stability of the neutron star's equilibrium state in the presence of cosmological constant. Our…
CMB anisotropy data could put powerful constraints on theories of the evolution of our Universe. Using the observations of the large number of CMB experiments, many studies have put constraints on cosmological parameters assuming different…
We review the fundamentals and the recent developments in understanding of common envelope physics. We report specifically on the progress that was made by the consideration of the recombination energy. This energy is found to be…
In this year, in which we celebrate 100 years of the cosmological term, $\Lambda$, in Einstein's gravitational field equations, we are still facing the crucial question whether $\Lambda$ is truly a fundamental constant or a mildly evolving…
The morphology of planetary nebulae emerging from the common envelope phase of binary star evolution is investigated. Using initial conditions based on the numerical results of hydrodynamical simulations of the common envelope phase it is…
In this contribution we present initial results of a study on convective boundary mixing (CBM) in massive stellar models using the GENEVA stellar evolution code. Before undertaking costly 3D hydrodynamic simulations, it is important to…
Perhaps the deepest mystery of our accelerating Universe in expansion is the existence of a tiny and rigid cosmological constant, $\Lambda$. Its size is many orders of magnitude below the expected one in the standard model of particle…
