Grids of stellar models with rotation - I. Models from 0.8 to 120 Msun at solar metallicity (Z = 0.014)

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of models for solar metallicity, where the effects of rotation are accounted for in a homogeneous way, is presented, and a grid of 48 different stellar evolutionary tracks, both rotating and non-rotating, at Z=0.014 are computed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast core rotation in red-giant stars as revealed by gravity-dominated mixed modes

TL;DR: An increasing rotation rate from the surface of the star to the stellar core in the interiors of red giants is reported using the rotational frequency splitting of recently detected ‘mixed modes’, which confirms the theoretical prediction of a steep gradient in the rotation profile towards the deep stellar interior.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Geneva stellar evolution code

TL;DR: In this paper, the Geneva stellar evolution code with special emphasis on the modeling of solar-type stars is presented. And the basic input physics used in the Geneva code as well as the modelling of atomic diffusion is first discussed.
