White dwarfs are a class of stars with unique physical properties. They present many
challenging problems whose solution requires advanced theories of dense matter, state-of …

Within the next few years, GAIA and several instruments aiming to image extrasolar planets
will be ready. In parallel, low-mass planets are being sought around red dwarfs, which offer …

Context. The chemical composition of the Sun is required in the context of various studies in
astrophysics, among them in the calculation of standard solar models (SSMs) used to …

Context. Computational astrophysics nowadays routinely combines grid-adaptive
capabilities with modern shock-capturing, high resolution spatio-temporal integration …

We present new models for low-mass stars down to the hydrogen-burning limit that
consistently couple atmosphere and interior structures, thereby superseding the widely used …

Aims. We present a new library of high-resolution synthetic spectra based on the stellar
atmosphere code PHOENIX that can be used for a wide range of applications of spectral …

Red supergiants are the most common final evolutionary stage of stars that have initial
masses between 8 and 35 times that of the Sun. During this stage, which lasts roughly …

There has been an incredibly large investment in obtaining high-resolution stellar spectra for
determining chemical abundances of stars. This information is crucial to answer …

The Sun is our nearest star; it is also the most important star that determines life on Earth. A
large variety of phenomena observed on the Sun's surface, with potential impact on Earth, is …

In this paper, we present an update to the open source MPI-AMRVAC simulation toolkit
where we focus on solar and non-relativistic astrophysical magnetofluid dynamics. We …
