TL;DR: The Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) project as discussed by the authors provides a one-dimensional stellar evolution module, MESA Star, which can model the evolution of giant planets down to masses as low as one-tenth that of Jupiter.

TL;DR: FLASH as discussed by the authors is a new generation simulation code, which solves the fully compressible, reactive hydrodynamic equations and allows for the use of adaptive mesh refinement, and also contains state-of-the-art modules for the equations of state and thermonuclear reaction networks.

TL;DR: A review of low energy nuclear experiments and theory, stellar modeling over a wide range of mass and composition, and abundance studies of many hundreds of stars can be found in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the transition from super-AGB star to massive star was studied and it was shown that a propagating neon-oxygen burning shell is common to both the most massive electron capture supernova (EC-SN) progenitors and the lowest mass iron-core collapse supernova progensitors.

TL;DR: In this article, the speeds of flame fronts that propagate inward into degenerate and semidegenerate cores of carbon and oxygen (CO) and neon-oxy (NeOMg) white dwarfs are determined.
