Journal ArticleDOI

A closer look at the transition between fully convective and partly radiative low-mass stars

Isabelle Baraffe, +3 more
- 01 Nov 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors re-examine this explanation and confirm that nuclear burning and mixing processes of 3 He provide the best explanation for the observed feature and also find that a change in the energy transport from convection to radiation does not induce structural changes that could be visible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benchmarking the Multi-dimensional Stellar Implicit Code MUSIC

T. Goffrey, +8 more
- 31 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a numerical benchmark study for the MUlti-dimensional Stellar Implicit Code (MUSIC) based on widely applicable two-and three-dimensional compressible hydrodynamics problems relevant to stellar interiors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of the Low-Mass Star Mass Function in the Galactic Disk

D. Mera, +2 more
- 10 Mar 1996 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the theoretical mass-luminosity relationship derived recently for low-mass stars (Chabrier, Baraffe, & Plez) to determine the lower end of the stellar mass function in the Galactic disk from observed luminosity functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lithium depletion in solar-like stars: effect of overshooting based on realistic multi-dimensional simulations

Isabelle Baraffe, +7 more
- 29 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a new diffusion coefficient describing extra mixing taking place at the bottom of a convective envelope was proposed to explain lithium depletion in low-mass and solar-like stars as a function of time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spherical-shell boundaries for two-dimensional compressible convection in a star

Jane Pratt, +9 more
- 01 Sep 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of spherical shell geometry on compressible convection was investigated using the MUltidimensional Stellar Implicit Code (MUSIC) simulation model of the young sun.
