Journal ArticleDOI
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Giant Planets, Oscillations, Rotation, and Massive Stars
Bill Paxton,Matteo Cantiello,Phil Arras,Lars Bildsten,Edward F. Brown,Aaron Dotter,Christopher R. Mankovich,Michael H. Montgomery,Dennis Stello,Frank Timmes,Richard H. D. Townsend +10 more
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.
FLASH: Adaptive Mesh Hydrodynamics Code for Modeling Astrophysical Thermonuclear Flashes
Bruce Fryxell,K. Olson,Paul M. Ricker,Frank Timmes,Michael Zingale,D. Q. Lamb,Peter MacNeice,Robert Rosner,J. W. Truran,Henry M. Tufo +9 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of the elements in stars: forty years of progress
George Wallerstein,Icko Iben,P. D. Parker,Ann Merchant Boesgaard,Gerald M. Hale,Arthur E Champagne,Arthur E Champagne,C. A. Barnes,F. Käppeler,Verne V. Smith,R. D. Hoffman,Frank Timmes,Christopher Sneden,Richard N. Boyd,Bradley S. Meyer,David L. Lambert +15 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced burning stages and fate of 8-10 Mo stars
Samuel Jones,Raphael Hirschi,Ken'ichi Nomoto,Tobias Fischer,Tobias Fischer,Frank Timmes,Falk Herwig,Bill Paxton,Hiroshi Toki,Toshio Suzuki,Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo,Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo,Y. H. Lam,Michael G. Bertolli +13 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The conductive propagation of nuclear flames. II. Convectively bounded flames in C + O and O + Ne + Mg cores
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.
