We complement the parsec data base of stellar evolutionary tracks with new models of
massive stars, from the pre-main-sequence phase to the central carbon ignition. We …

We present the updated version of the code used to compute stellar evolutionary tracks in
Padova. It is the result of a thorough revision of the major input physics, together with the …

The chemical evolution of the Universe is governed by the chemical yields from stars, which
in turn are determined primarily by the initial stellar mass. Even stars as low as 0.9 M⊙ can …

We extend the PARSEC library of stellar evolutionary tracks by computing new models of
massive stars, from 14 to 350 M⊙. The input physics is the same used in the PARSEC V1. 1 …

The mass spectrum of stellar mass black holes (BHs) is highly uncertain. Dynamical mass
measurements are available only for few (∼ 10) BHs in X-ray binaries, while theoretical …

Context. The third Gaia Data Release covers 34 months of data and includes the second
Gaia catalogue of long-period variables (LPVs), with G variability amplitudes larger than 0.1 …

We present new theoretical stellar yields and surface abundances for asymptotic giant
branch (AGB) models with a metallicity appropriate for stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud …

The evolution and lifetimes of thermally pulsating asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stars
suffer from significant uncertainties. In this work, we analyze the numbers and luminosity …

Long-period variability in luminous red giants has several promising applications, all of
which require models able to accurately predict pulsation periods. Linear pulsation models …

Context. Mass loss is one of the fundamental properties of asymptotic giant branch (AGB)
stars, and through the enrichment of the interstellar medium, AGB stars are key players in …
