Abstract We calculate new evolutionary models of rotating primordial very massive stars, with initial mass from 100 M ⊙ to 200 , for two values the metallicity Z = 0 and 0.0002. For first time in this range, we consider stellar rotation pulsation-driven loss, along radiative winds. The evolve zero-age main sequence until onset pair-instability. discuss properties during their evolution then focus on final fate possible progenitors jet-driven events. All tracks that undergo pulsational-pair...
Recent advancements in stellar evolution modeling offer unprecedented accuracy predicting the and deaths of stars. We present new evolutionary models computed with updated V2.0 code for a comprehensive homogeneous grid metallicities initial masses.

Thermohaline mixing is one of the main processes in low-mass red giant stars that affect transport chemicals and, thus, surface abundances along evolution. The interplay thermohaline with other processes, such as downward overshooting from convective envelope, needs to be carefully investigated. This study aims understand combined effects and envelope overshooting. After implementing process parsec stellar evolutionary code, we computed tracks isochrones (with trilegal code) compared them...
Abstract The initial–final mass relation (IFMR) plays a crucial role in understanding stellar structure and evolution by linking star’s initial to the of resulting white dwarf. This study explores IFMR range 0.8 ≤ M ini / ⊙ 4 using full PARSEC evolutionary calculations supplemented with COLIBRI computations complete ejection envelope obtain final core mass. Recent works have shown that supposed monotonicity is interrupted kink ≈ 1.65–2.10 , due interaction between recurrent dredge-up...
Benefiting from the GAIA second and early third releases of photometric astrometric data we examine population asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars that appear in fields intermediate-age young open star clusters. We identify 49 AGB candidates, brighter than tip red branch, with a good-to-high cluster membership probability. Among them find 19 TP-AGB known spectral type: 4 M stars, 3 MS/S 12 C stars. By combining observations, stellar models, radiative transfer calculations include effect...

The interplay thermohaline with other processes, such as downward overshooting from convective envelope, should be carefully investigated.

We address the critical need for accurate Rosseland mean gas opacities in high-pressure environments, spanning temperatures from 100 K to 32000 K. Current opacity tables Wichita State University and AESOPUS 2.0 are limited $\log(R) \le 1$, where $R=\rho\, T_6^{-3}$ units of $\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{cm}^{-3}(10^6\mathrm{K})^{-3}$. This is insufficient modeling very low-mass stars, brown dwarfs, planets with atmospheres exhibiting higher densities pressures ($\log(R) > 1$). Leveraging extensive...
