The Sun and other stars are magnetic: magnetism pervades their interiors and affects their
evolution in a variety of ways. In the Sun, both the fields themselves and their influence on …

Understanding massive stars is essential for a variety of branches of astronomy including
galaxy and star cluster evolution, nucleosynthesis and supernovae, pulsars, and black …

This is the first of a series of papers presenting the Modules for Experiments in Stellar
Astrophysics (MESA) Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST) project, a new comprehensive …

The angular momentum (AM) evolution of stellar interiors, along with the resulting rotation
rates of stellar remnants, remains poorly understood. Asteroseismic measurements of red …

Aims. Many topical astrophysical research areas, such as the properties of planet host stars,
the nature of the progenitors of different types of supernovae and gamma ray bursts, and the …

Stars lose a significant amount of angular momentum between birth and death, implying that
efficient processes transporting it from the core to the surface are active. Space …

We present a dense grid of evolutionary tracks and isochrones of rotating massive main-
sequence stars. We provide three grids with different initial compositions tailored to compare …

These lecture notes are based on a tutorial given in 2017 at a plasma physics winter school
in Les Houches. Their aim is to provide a self-contained graduate-student level introduction …

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

We investigate the evolution of Type Ib/c supernova (SN Ib/c) progenitors in close binary
systems, using new evolutionary models that include the effects of rotation, with initial …
