Bayesian framework with active-learning surrogate for MESA models constrains ages and α_MLT from 38 main-sequence DEBs, recovering some α_MLT values below the solar calibration.
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.
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.
Simulations show magnetar giant flares produce nuclei near r-process peaks whose decays create bright MeV gamma-ray lines from 88Kr and 92Sr with fluxes above 10^-8 erg cm^-2 s^-1.
Population synthesis from binary evolution models predicts periodic neutron star-companion interactions in more than half of surviving hydrogen-poor core-collapse supernovae, with periods peaking at 20-50 days and lasting 0.5-10 years.
3D simulations find that the convective Urca process reduces mixing efficiency near the convective boundary in a simmering white dwarf but does not restrict the overall size of the convection zone, with the A=23 pair having the largest effect.
Multi-D progenitor perturbations leave shock revival and explosion energetics essentially unchanged in 2D CHIMERA runs; any effects sit below the level of numerical stochasticity.
3D simulations show the convective Urca process substantially reduces the convection zone size in a simmering white dwarf, though convection extends past the Urca shell.
Long-term 3D CCSN simulations of a low-mass iron-core progenitor show NS wind and multi-isotope decay heating create large plumes, asymmetric breakout, reverse-shock fragmentation, and ECSN-like yields unlike Cas A.
New MESA stellar tracks with varied winds and convective mixing produce a primary black hole mass function with twin peaks near 8 and 13 solar masses in most variations, the higher peak dominated by mass-ratio-reversal systems, with rates varying by a factor of six.
MESA simulations show that winds from Type I X-ray bursts igniting at column depths ≥5×10^8 g cm^{-2} eject ash enriched in intermediate-mass to iron-peak elements, with composition depending on ignition depth, accretion mix, and convective treatment.
New 59Fe beta-decay rates in non-rotating MESA models suppress 60Fe yields by 0.28 dex, yielding a Salpeter-IMF-integrated 60Fe/26Al flux ratio of 0.18 that matches the observed 0.184 ± 0.042.
Failed common envelope mergers yield 6-14 solar mass stripped stars consistent with long-lived core He-burning objects that appear single or in wide binaries from hierarchical triples.
The paper develops a search algorithm to find observable MeV gamma-ray peaks from r-process isotope decays in mergers and shows Rh-106 can distinguish main versus weak r-process while Tl-208 remains robust across model variations.
Free neutrons survive r-process freeze-out in fast ejecta of neutron star mergers and their beta-decay heating produces a visible early kilonova precursor for mass fractions above ~0.05.
The first NIR high-resolution spectroscopy of solar analog HD115617 shows a 250 K temperature discrepancy with optical data but confirms solar composition, main-sequence status, and no chemical signature of planetary formation.
Stellar models show that the 12C(alpha,gamma)16O rate uncertainty moves the black hole mass gap, constraining its S300 to 137.6-263.4 keV barn when matched to the observed gap from gravitational waves.
Rotation produces only modest changes to blue loop luminosity and extent in MESA Cepheid models and cannot fix the mass discrepancy without substantial main-sequence overshooting.
Type Ib supernovae are systematically bluer at optical peak than Type Ic supernovae, suggesting their progenitors contain more helium.
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.
MESA grids show global magnetic sensitivity in red giants depends on mass and metallicity and can be recovered to 10% uncertainty with accurate spectroscopic metallicity.
Binary evolution simulations identify short (20-500 days) and long (2000-4000 days) orbital period ranges where massive star-black hole systems retain enough angular momentum for GRB jet production with negligible mass loss.
