Four faint red point sources near critical curves in JWST images of Abell S1063 are interpreted as extremely magnified AGB stars and a yellow supergiant at cosmic noon.
Analytical relations for convective core mass, variable-mu structure, and main-sequence end in intermediate-mass stars, with MESA validation.
Synthetic observables from tECSN models show slower early red-color decline due to higher Ti/Cr and a late-time 12.8 μm Ne II line that strengthens over time, unlike comparable CO deflagration models.
Self-consistent spherical accretion simulations show cooling-enhanced growth of PBHs with radiative efficiency ~10^{-2} in the bremsstrahlung regime, yielding a critical seed mass of ~10^{-16} M_sun to consume a solar-mass star in a Hubble time.
3D MHD simulations of pre-supernova progenitors find turbulent mixing in oxygen and silicon shells deviates from standard 1D mixing-length prescriptions, with proposed updates for stellar evolution codes.
Blue straggler stars in old open clusters exhibit a Kraft break in rotation, with rapid rotators above the break and slow rotators below, indicating their envelopes behave like those of single stars.
Planetary formation tracks on the HR diagram show three branches: ascending during solid accretion with L proportional to T to the 8th for in-situ planetesimals, near-horizontal during gas accretion, and descending during post-accretion cooling.
A coupled MESA-GYRE framework shows interior radiative damping of gravity waves dominates tidal evolution in TOI-5882, predicting a 2-6 fold reduction in engulfment timescale versus equilibrium tide models.
JWST spectra of SN 2022acko reveal CO masses of 1.55e-4 and 2.47e-4 solar masses, IME velocities ~300 km/s vs ~100 km/s for H/He/IGEs suggesting bipolar outflow, and substantially less molecule formation than higher-mass Type II SNe.
Presents a grid of 113 fast-rotating, chemically-homogeneous massive star models at Z=0.001 reaching core collapse with high angular momentum for use as supernova and GRB progenitors.
Blue straggler stars in old open clusters predominantly appear near the terminal-age main sequence because mass transfer from asymptotic giant branch donors enriches their cores with helium.
1D models show convective boundary mixing dominates the asteroseismic imprint of accretion in massive stars, robust to semiconvection changes but drastically altered without it, with thermal relaxation as key.
MESA grid models find HD 20794 is a 0.80 solar-mass star aged ~9 Gyr whose observed abundances match core-collapse supernova enrichment and are preserved over Gyr timescales.
Accretion feedback caps stellar growth rates below 0.1 solar masses per year in AGN disks, eliminates runaway accretion, and produces higher equilibrium masses and luminosities when gap opening is included.
Adiabatic mass-loss models for massive helium stars give critical mass ratios 0.7-3.0 on the main sequence and 1.5-27 on the Hertzsprung gap, lowered by winds and adjusted by isotropic re-emission.
JWST TRGB distances to 10 SN Ia hosts update calibrations for 11 SNe yielding H0 of 68.4-69.6 km/s/Mpc and show modest shifts when combined with prior HST data.
Reanalysis of 79 solar twins indicates the Sun's chemical peculiarity is largely explained by Galactic chemical evolution, with 2-6 candidates possibly showing planetary engulfment.
New upper bounds on millicharged particles (masses 10-100 keV, charges down to 5e-13) from the AGB-to-HB star ratio in globular clusters, improving prior limits by up to two orders of magnitude.
Asteroseismic fits to g-dominated mixed modes in four red giants suggest convective overshooting rises with mass and yield a core rotation rate of 0.7409 μHz for KIC 11968334.
New 17O+α and 22Ne+α rates increase weak s-process yields by tens of times in Z=10^{-3} stars of 15-30 solar masses.
Theoretical predictions for local BBH merger rates exceed observations by a factor >10 under conservative SFRD and metallicity assumptions, indicating need for revisions in stellar evolution.
Apparent local ordering due to gravity does not violate the second law when the full system including radiation is considered.
