Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) : Convective Boundaries, Element Diffusion, and Massive Star Explosions

Bill Paxton, +17 more
- 06 Feb 2018 - 
TL;DR: The Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) software instrument as discussed by the authors has been updated with the capability to handle floating point exceptions and stellar model optimization, as well as four new software tools.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulsational pair instability as an explanation for the most luminous supernovae

Stanford E Woosley, +3 more
- 15 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is reported that the brightest supernovae in the modern Universe arise from collisions between shells of matter ejected by massive stars that undergo an interior instability arising from the production of electron–positron pairs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Convective Boundaries, Element Diffusion, and Massive Star Explosions

Bill Paxton, +17 more
- 23 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the capabilities of the software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) and enhance its ease of use and availability are discussed. But the authors do not provide a comprehensive overview of the available tools.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expansions for nearly Gaussian distributions

Sergei Blinnikov, +2 more
- 01 May 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, various types of expansions in series of Cheby shev-Hermite polynomials currently used in astrophysics for weakly non-normal distributions are compared, namely the Gram-Charlier, Gauss-Hermitic and Edgeworth expansions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiation hydrodynamics of SN 1987A: I. Global analysis of the light curve for the first 4 months

Sergei Blinnikov, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2000 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical/UV light curves of SN 1987A were analyzed with the multi-energy group radiation hydrodynamics code STELLA and the authors derived the most likely range of E/M (explosion energy over ejecta mass) and R0 (radius of the progenitor).
