TL;DR: Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) as discussed by the authors is an open source software package for modeling the evolution of stellar structures and composition. But it is not suitable for large-scale systems such as supernovae.

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: An extensive review of the current status of our knowledge of the stars in the lower instability strip is given in this paper, with particular attention given to the following areas: the confusion concerning naming and the implied astrophysical properties (often erroneous), single and multiple periods, the effect of rotation and metallicism on pulsation, the nature of the so-called dwarf cepheids, and pulsation in Ap stars.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the analysis of 154 hours of early continuous high-speed photometry on the pulsating DB white dwarf (DBV) GD 358, obtained during the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) run of 1990 May.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present photometry and spectroscopy for 27 pulsating hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs (DAVs) observed by the Kepler space telescope up to K2 Campaign 8, an extensive compilation of observations with unprecedented duration (>75 days) and duty cycle (>90%).
