It’s Ez to Evolve Zams Stars: a Program Derived from Eggleton’s Stellar Evolution Code
نویسنده
چکیده
“Evolve ZAMS”, “EZ” for short, is derived from Peter Eggleton’s stellar evolution program. The core of EZ is a stripped down, rewritten version of a subset of Eggleton’s code, specialized to handle single star evolution from the zero-age main sequence until forced to stop by an event such as a helium flash or a crystallizing core. The procedure and data interfaces to the program are designed to be easy to use while still providing a wide range of function. EZ is written in Fortran 95 following current programming practices and can be downloaded from the web site at http://theory.kitp.ucsb.edu/∼paxton/.

Stellar evolution before the ZAMS
Young stars on their way to the ZAMS evolve in significantly different ways depending on their mass. While the theoretical and observational properties of lowand intermediate-mass stars are rather well understood and/or empirically tested, the situation for massive stars (> ∼ 10– 15 M⊙) is, to say the least, still elusive. On theoretical grounds, the PMS evolution of these objects should be ext...
متن کاملImplementation of new OPAL tables in Eggleton’s stellar evolution code
Based on the work of OPAL (Iglesias & Rogers 1996) and Alexander & Ferguson (1994), we construct a series of opacity tables for various metallicities Z = 0, 0.000 01, 0.000 03, 0.000 1, 0.000 3, 0.001, 0.004, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.1. These tables can be easily used in Eggleton’s stellar evolution code in place of the old tables without changing the code. The OPAL tables...
متن کاملLow-metallicity Protostars and the Maximum Stellar Mass Resulting from Radiative Feedback
The final mass of a newborn star is set at the epoch when the mass accretion onto the star is terminated. We study the evolution of accreting protostars and the limits of accretion in low metallicity environments. Accretion rates onto protostars are estimated via the temperature evolution of prestellar cores with different metallicities. The derived rates increase with decreasing metallicity, f...
متن کاملLoss of angular momentum of magnetic Ap stars in the pre-main sequence phase
A model for rotation evolution of an intermediate mass star with the primordial magnetic field in the pre-main sequence (PMS) phase was developed. It takes into account the accretion of matter along the magnetic field lines, the stellar field-disk interaction and a magnetized wind. Variations of stellar moment of inertia were included based on evolutionary models of PMS evolution of such stars....
متن کاملForty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
