We substantially update the capabilities of the open source software package Modules for
Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA), and its one-dimensional stellar evolution …

The influence of atomic diffusion on stellar ages and chemical tagging

A Dotter, C Conroy, P Cargile… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
In the era of large stellar spectroscopic surveys, there is an emphasis on deriving not only
stellar abundances but also the ages for millions of stars. In the context of Galactic …

The first APOKASC catalog of Kepler dwarf and subgiant stars

A Serenelli, J Johnson, D Huber… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the first APOKASC catalog of spectroscopic and asteroseismic data for dwarfs
and subgiants. Asteroseismic data for our sample of 415 objects have been obtained by the …

Correcting stellar oscillation frequencies for near-surface effects

H Kjeldsen, TR Bedding… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
In helioseismology, there is a well-known offset between observed and computed oscillation
frequencies. This offset is known to arise from improper modeling of the near-surface layers …

The last minutes of oxygen shell burning in a massive star

B Müller, M Viallet, A Heger… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the first 4π–three-dimensional (3D) simulation of the last minutes of oxygen shell
burning in an 18 M⊙ supernova progenitor up to the onset of core collapse. A moving inner …

Generation of solar-like differential rotation

H Hotta, K Kusano, R Shimada - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze the simulation result shown in Hotta & Kusano (2021) in which the solar-like
differential rotation is reproduced. The Sun is rotating differentially with the fast equator and …

Structure and rotation of the solar interior: initial results from the MDI medium-l program

AG Kosovichev, J Schou, PH Scherrer… - The first results from …, 1997 - Springer
The medium-l program of the Michelson Doppler Imager instrument on board SOHO
provides continuous observations of oscillation modes of angular degree, l, from 0 to∼ 300 …

A simulation of convective dynamo in the solar convective envelope: maintenance of the solar-like differential rotation and emerging flux

Y Fan, F Fang - The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the results of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of a convective dynamo
in a model solar convective envelope driven by the solar radiative diffusive heat flux. The …

Magnetic wreaths and cycles in convective dynamos

NJ Nelson, BP Brown, AS Brun… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Solar-type stars exhibit a rich variety of magnetic activity. Seeking to explore the convective
origins of this activity, we have carried out a series of global three-dimensional …
