Core Overshoot: An Improved Treatment and Constraints from Seismic Data
We present a comprehensive set of stellar evolution models for Procyon A in an effort to guide future measurements of both traditional stellar parameters and seismic frequencies towards constraining the amount of core overshoot in Procyon A and possibly other stars. Current observational measurements of Procyon A when combined with traditional stellar modeling only place a large upper limit on ...
متن کاملDiffusive convective overshoot in core He - burning intermediate mass stars . I : the LMC metallicity
We present detailed evolutionary calculations focused on the evolution of intermediate mass stars with 3M ⊙ ≤ M ≤ 9M ⊙ of metallicity typical of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), i.e. Z = 0.008. We compare carefully the models calculated by adopting a diffusive scheme for chemical mixing, in which nuclear burning and mixing are self-consistently coupled, while the eddy velocities beyond the for...
متن کاملHelioseismic Estimation of Convective Overshoot in the Sun
By using the periodic signal present in the frequencies of oscillation due to the base of the solar convection zone, Monteiro, Christensen-Dalsgaard & Thompson (1994) gave an upper limit to the extent of a layer of convective overshooting in the Sun. Alternative studies (Roxburgh & Vorontsov, 1994) have suggested that it may not be possible to do so since the amplitude of the signal does not va...
متن کاملThe evolution of AGB stars with convective overshoot
The influence of extended convective mixing (overshoot) on asymptotic giant branch stellar evolution is investigated in detail. The extended mixing is treated timedependently, and the efficiency declines exponentially with the geometric distance from the convective boundary. It has been considered at all convective boundaries, including the He-flash convection zone in the intershell region whic...
متن کاملSeismological Constraints on Inner Core Properties
We constrain seismic properties of the inner core using various body wave observations. In the epicentral distance range of 10−70 o , our high quality measurements of the amplitude ratio of PKiKP and PcP provide a new estimate of the density contrast (0.6-0.9 g/cm 3) at the Inner Core Boundary (ICB). This estimate is compatible with a recent reevaluation of normal mode data, and thus reconciles...
