Stellar evolution with a variable mixing - length

By simulating the convection in the upper layers of seven diierent stars and matching these simulations to 1D mixing-length models using the same input physics, we have been able to infer the behaviour of the T-relation and the mixing-length parameter, , as the stellar parameters change. We have then used this knowledge in stellar evolution calculations, in order to investigate the consequences...

Stellar Turbulent Convection: A Selfconsistent Model

We present a selfconsistent model for stellar turbulent convection which is similar in spirit to the CM model (Canuto & Mazzitelli 1991) since it accounts for the full spectrum of the turbulent eddies rather than only one eddy, as done in the mixing length theory (MLT). The model differs from the CM model in the treatment of the rate of energy input ns(k) from the source that generates the turb...

Homologously Collapsing Stellar Cores

We investigate the collapse of nonrotating gas sp~eres with a polytropic.equ~tion of state.: n = 3, corresponding toy = 4/3. Such polytropes provide~ re~sonable approximatiOn t<? collapsmg stellar cores during the early phase before nuclear density IS reached. W~ find a.famtl~ of ~xact homologously collapsing configurations. Homologous collapse of the enti~e core Is possib~e If the pressure at ...

Observations of pre-stellar cores

Our understanding of the physical and chemical structure of pre-stellar cores, the simplest star-forming sites, has significantly improved since the last IAU Symposium on Astrochemistry (South Korea, 1999). Research done over these years has revealed that major molecular species like CO and CS systematically deplete onto dust grains at the interior of pre-stellar cores, while species like N2H +...

THE EFFECT OF COSMIONS ON THE STABILITY OF MAIN SEQUENCE STELLAR CORES

We have studied the effect of hypothetical Cosmions on the core stability of main sequence stars (of populations I and II). Cosmions, with a mass of 4-10 Gev/c2 and a scattering cross section with nucleons of approximately 10-36 cm2 could prevail in transporting heat in the stellar cores. Raby [17] showed the existence of a local thermal instability caused by the presence of Cosmions in the sol...
