(published April 2024, month 36 of the project)
This page reviews the theoretical work led or supported by WP4 (task 4.1). WP4 led or supported a wide range of simulations of stars in both multi-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations as well as one-dimensional (spherically symmetric) stellar evolution models. WP4 also delivered predictions of nucleosynthesis productions in stars of various masses, metallicities and input physics (e.g. rotation and magnetic fields, single and binary stars).
In addition, WP4 delivered various astronomical impact studies of newly measured reactions rates for various processes (e.g. slow, intermediate and rapid neutron capture processes) in different astrophysical environments (e.g. novae, low-mass stars, massive stars, X-ray bursts, supernova explosions). The 39 publications resulting from WP4 activities are available at https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/public-libraries/9al0_oSbSZiOEwitiz5wpw, and listed below.
The WP4 simulations undertaken and resulting publications in year 3 of the project (not included in the D4.4 deliverable at month 24) are:
