Accretion disks around supermassive black holes have regions where the Rosseland mean opacity can be much larger than the electron scattering opacity primarily due to the large number of bound-bound transitions in iron. We study the effects…
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…
We study the magnetospheric activity in the polar cap region of pulsars under stellar oscillations. The toroidal oscillation of the star propagates into the magnetosphere, which provides additional voltage due to unipolar induction, changes…
Stars within the innermost part of the Nuclear Star Cluster can reach orbital velocities up to a few percent of the light speed. As analyzed by Rafikov (2020), Doppler boosting of stellar light may be of relevance at the pericenter of…
We have investigated the effects of uniform rotation and a specific model for differential rotation on the pulsation frequencies of 10 \Msun\ stellar models. Uniform rotation decreases the frequencies for all modes. Differential rotation…
We examine the effect of dynamical tides raised by a companion on a solar-type star. In these binaries, gravity or g mode oscillations are excited by the companion in the radiative region beneath the convective envelope of the star. They…
We investigate the potential of multi-colour photometry for partial mode identification in both long- and short-period variable subdwarf B stars. The technique presented is based on the fact that the frequency dependence of an oscillation's…
We investigate the effect of helium abundance and $\alpha$-element enhancement on the properties of convection in envelopes of solar-like main-sequence stars stars using a grid of 3D radiation hydrodynamic simulations. Helium abundance…
We present multidimensional modeling of convection and oscillations in main-sequence stars somewhat more massive than the Sun, using three separate approaches: 1) Using the 3-D planar StellarBox radiation hydrodynamics code to model the…
The rapidly oscillating Ap stars are of importance for studying the atmospheric structure of stars where the process of chemical element diffusion is significant. We have performed a survey for rapid oscillations in a sample of 9 luminous…
Peculiar A stars are so named because they exhibit abundance peculiarities in their atmospheres. It is believed that these arise as a result of differentiation of chemical species in large magnetic spots in which convective mixing is…
The knowledge of stellar evolution is evolving quickly thanks to an increased number of opportunities to scrutinize the stellar internal plasma properties by stellar seismology and by 1D and 3D simulations. These new tools help us to…
Acoustic modes are excited by turbulent convection in the outer convective envelope of solar-like stars. Observational results from asteroseismic studies show that 44% of solar-like stars do not present detectable stochastically-excited…
We review the present-day methods of mode identification applied to main sequence pulsators focusing on those that make use of multicolour photometry and radial velocity data. The effects which may affect diagnostic properties of these…
Following the discovery of blue large-amplitude pulsators (BLAPs), single star evolu- tion models of post red giant branch stars that have undergone a common envelope (CE) ejection in the form of a high mass loss rate have been constructed…
Despite recent major advances, the opacity remains a source of substantial uncertainty in the calculation of solar models, and hence of solar oscillation frequencies. Hence it is of substantial interest to investigate the sensitivity of…
We present corrections for the change in the apparent scalelengths, central surface brightnesses and axis ratios due to the presence of dust in pure disk galaxies, as a function of inclination, central face-on opacity in the B-band…
Evolutionary models have been calculated for Pop II stars of 0.5 to 1.0$M_\odot$ from the pre-main-sequence to the lower part of the giant branch. Rosseland opacities and radiative accelerations were calculated taking into account the…
We present results from 2D radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of fully compressible convection for the surface layers of A-type stars with the ANTARES code. Spectroscopic indicators for photospheric convective velocity fields show a…
I suggest that the behavior of the photospheric opacity in oxygen-rich (similar to solar abundance) upper asymptotic giant branch stars may cause these stars to substantially expand for a few thousand years. I term this process…
