▼ Star formation in the Cam OB1 region is investigated. Star formation, in general,
is considered in terms of three elements: a) the structural relationship between
the parent molecular clouds and newly formed
stars, b) the temporal
evolution
of the parent molecular clouds, and c) the probability of the occurrence of star formation. Star formation in Cam OB1 over the range in l and b considered in
this work, is concentrated in the vicinity of Cam R1 and appears to have led to the
formation of three distinct stellar groups: a) Group I. formed ~ 1 - 50 x 106 yr ago,
and located spatially and kinematically between two CO complexes, b) Group II.
formed ~ 1 - 3 x 106 yr ago. and coincident with one of the previously mentioned
complexes, and c) Group III. the youngest group, formed ~ I - 20 x 104 yr ago, and
located at the current point of intersection between the two complexes in (a). The
mass function (MF) for Groups I and II is similar to the cloud mass function of the
parent molecular clouds, i.e. a power-law with exponent α ~ 2. A similar analysis
for the Group III
stars and associated molecular clouds cannot be performed due to the relatively small numbers in both samples. The star forming efficiency (SFE)
in all cases is ~ 1%. It is proposed that cloud-cloud collisions between the CO
complexes in the region triggered the formation of Groups I and III, while Group II
was produced by a shock induced by the radiation pressure and stellar winds from
the
stars in Group I. An analysis of the molecular cloud structure in Cam OB1 and
the background Perseus arm also shows that the clouds in both regions are turbulent,
and typical of clouds seen elsewhere in the Galaxy. However, the clouds in Cam OB1
show a large dispersion in the degree with which they are self-gravitating, with the
larger, warmer clouds being gravitationally bound.
The principal data set for this work comprises fully sampled [special characters omitted] observations of the western half of Cam OB1, which were obtained at the Center for
Astrophysics during the winter of 1992-1993. These data have an effective resolution of 10', a velocity resolution of 0.65 km s-1, and a sensitivity of 0.115 K. High
resolution (20") observations of the [special characters omitted] transition of the most active star
forming region were obtained with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope during the
winter of 1994-1995. These observations led to the discovery of a second outflow.
AFGL 490 – iki, associated with IRAS 03234+5843, in the immediate vicinity of
the very well-studied molecular outflow AFGL 490. Additional observations of the
[special characters omitted], taken with the 26m telescope at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory during the fall of 1994, did not reveal any such masering activity in the Cam OB1 region, but did lead to the discovery of a new maser,
associated with IRAS 02455+6034. in the background Perseus arm.

SiO-emitting condensations

IRC+10420.

▼ IRC+10420 is a massive (> 20M☉), very
luminous (> 〖10〗
6L☉) star that is in the rare phase of
evolution from the red supergiant to the luminous blue variable or
Wolf-Rayet phase. Previous observations reveal that the
circumstellar envelope is rich in molecular gas, and can be
detected out to a radius of about 8” = 6.0 X 〖10〗
17 cm.
Observations in CO also reveal that the global massloss rate of
IRC+10420 has changed dramatically over the last 6000 years,
comprising two major episodes of mass loss lasting for about 1000
and 4000 years respectively separated by period of very low
mass-loss rate lasting for about 1000 years. Surprising, previous
observation in SiO(J = 2 - 1) revealed a ring-like enhancement at a
radius of about 1” (7.5X 〖10〗
16 cm) from the star, contrary to the
expectation that SiO molecules should be frozen onto dust grains
very close to the star (within ~ 〖10〗
16cm). This ring-like
enhancement has been attributed to a large-scale shock produced by
interactions between faster and slower moving portions of the
expanding envelope. In this thesis, we mapped the circumstellar
envelope in SiO(J = 1 - 0) to better constrain the physical
conditions (gas density, temperature and SiO abundance) in the
SiO-emitting gas. We find a similar ring-like enhancement in SiO(J
= 1 - 0) but located further out at a radius of about 2” (1.5 X
〖10〗
17 cm), and confirm that the SiO emission extends as far out
as the CO envelope. The computed SiO(J = 2-1)/SiO(J = 1-0) line
ratio significantly exceeds unity at radius out to about the
location of the ring-like enhancement (2”), and drops to a value of
about unity beyond this radius. From a one-dimensional non-local
thermodynamic equilibrium model, we explore the physical conditions
that can reproduce the observed brightness temperatures in both
SiO(J = 10) and SiO(J = 2-1) as well as their line ratio as a
function of radius. The SiO-emitting gas is required to have a
density that is much higher (from a factor of a few to about two
orders of magnitude) than has been inferred for the CO-emitting gas
at the same radii. The required surface filling factor of the
SiO-emitting gas depends on their unknown gas-phase SiO abundance;
for an abundance of ~〖10〗^(-5), as inferred just above the
photospheres of lowmass evolved
stars, the surface filling factor
of these condensations range from ~0.001 to ~0.1. Thus, the SiO
emission from the envelope of IRC+10420 most likely originates from
dense condensations that are immersed in more diffuse gas that
produces the bulk of the observed CO emission. We reason that the
SiO-emitting condensations correspond to the dust clumps detected
in reflected light with the Hubble Space Telescope. These dust
clumps are distributed from near the star out to a radius of 2”,
spanning the same extent as the peaks of SiO- (and CO-) emitting
envelope. We show that these dust clumps are expanding in every
direction away from the
stars at a velocity that is significantly
higher than the CO-emitting gas, and anticipate that shocks thus
generated heats up the dust…

▼ The history of an actively star-forming region, containing the young, open cluster NGC 2264, is examined in this thesis using UBVRIHα photographic plate material. After digitization and removal of the variable background from these plates, automatic detection and photometry algorithms yield magnitudes for a set of candidate low-mass cluster members. Using the photographic plates and a supplementary video camera Hα survey, these candidates are selected on the basis of their exhibiting significant Hα emission, large amplitude variability, or anomalously blue colors. To study the age spread in NGC 2264, a theoretical H-R diagram is constructed. Infrared photometry of 33 candidate members permits an evaluation of the bolometric luminosities of these
stars; the unreddened (V - R) and (V - I) colors yield effective temperatures. The theoretical mass tracks and isochrones of Cohen and Kuhi (1979) are adopted and extrapolated to lower luminosities and temperatures. The effects of circumstellar dust and gas shells on the location of the NGC 2264
stars in the H-R diagram are examined. No systematic biases in the derived bolometric luminosities and temperatures are found. The optical and infrared excesses of these
stars are found to be uncorrelated, requiring separate mechanisms for their generation. A gaseous envelope is most likely the source of the optical excess; thermal emission from hot dust most probably leads to the observed infrared excesses. An age spread for the low-mass NGC 2264
stars of ≳10⁷ years is indicated. Star formation in NGC 2264 is found to have proceeded sequentially as a function of mass and time. Low-mass star formation began ∼2-3 x 10⁷ years ago, peaked ∼4-5 x 10⁶ years ago, and declined thereafter. Star formation at successively higher masses has started, peaked, and then declined at successively younger ages. No significant differences are seen between the field and NGC 2264 luminosity functions to the faintest levels observed (Mᵥ ≈ +11). There is no evidence for a low-mass turnover in NGC 2264.

Modern observations provide evidences that

take into account ‘extra’-mixing processes. This dissertation is
dedicated to an observational study of the Galactic red clump as

models of extra-mixing processes in interiors of stars. For this
purpose, the high-resolution spectra of 62 Galactic red clump stars
and 9 evolved stars of the old open cluster NGC 7789 have been
analysed and the main atmospheric parameters and chemical

hypothesis that clump stars of the Galaxy are relatively young

in the local disk during the last few billion years of its history.
Mixing induced carbon and nitrogen abundance modifications in the
Galactic clump stars were investigated. The clump stars can be
divided into distinct evolutionary groups using the 12C/13C
criterion. The carbon isotope ratios of the Galactic clump stars
are consistent with the Cool Bottom Processing (CBP) extra-mixing

▼ As the endpoints of stars less massive than roughly eight solar masses, the population of Galactic white dwarfs (WD) contain information about complex stellar evolution processes. Associated pairs of WDs add an extra degree of leverage; both WDs must have formed and evolved together. The work presented in this dissertation uses various populations of double WDs (DWD) to constrain evolution of both single and binary stars.
One example is the set of low-mass WDs with unseen WD companions, which are formed through a dynamically-unstable mass loss process called the common envelope. To work toward a quantitative understanding of the common envelope, we develop and apply a Bayesian statistical technique to identify the masses of the unseen WD companions. We provide results which can be compared to evolutionary models and hence a deeper understanding of how binary stars evolve through a common envelope. The statistical technique we develop can be applied to any population of single-line spectroscopic binaries.
Binaries widely separated enough that they avoid any significant interaction independently evolve into separate WDs that can be identified in photometric and astrometric surveys. We discuss techniques for finding these objects, known as wide DWDs. We present a catalog of 142 candidate wide DWDs, combining both previously detected systems and systems we identify in our searches in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Having been born at the same time, the masses and cooling ages of the WDs in wide DWDs, obtained with our spectroscopic follow-up campaign can be used to constrain the initial-final mass relation, which relates a main sequence star to the mass of the WD into which it will evolve. We develop a novel Bayesian technique to interpret our data and present our resulting constraints on this relation which are particularly strong for initial masses between two and four solar masses.
During this process, we identified one wide DWD, HS 2220+2146, that was peculiar since the more massive WD in this system evolved second. We construct an evolutionary formation scenario in which the system began as a hierarchical triple in which the inner binary merged (possibly due to Kozai-Lidov oscillations) forming a post-blue straggler binary. The system then evolved into the DWD we observe today. We further discuss the potential for identifying more wide DWDs, including peculiar systems like HS 2220+2146, in future surveys such as Gaia.

Understanding galaxy formation is an enduring questions in astrophysics. Galaxies are systems rich in interesting physical processes, and the vast range of times and environments in which galaxies form and evolve offer a wealth of challenges. One of the primary driving forces in galaxies is the interaction of stellar populations with their surroundings. The nature of this interaction drives the evolution of both components, and the resulting behavior has a profound impact on the observable universe. In this dissertation I discuss the results of modeling this interaction in a variety of contexts using semi-analytic methods in conjunction with high-performance numerical simulations to bridge the huge dynamic ranges spanned by these processes. With these techniques I explore the environments in which Population III stars form, studying the transition to chemically-enriched star formation, and quantifying the changing environment and assembly history of the dark matter halos which host Population III stars in a universe of increasingly chemical complexity. Chemical enrichment in high redshift proto-galaxies is investigated by coupling semi-analytic models of star formation and feedback to cosmological N-body simulations. The resulting elemental abundance ratios are compared to those observed in metal-poor stars and satellite systems of the Milky Way, with the comparison constraining the nature of Population III stars, galaxy formation at high redshift, and the transition from metal-free to chemically enriched star formation. Ensembles of semi-analytic models representing internal galactic processes are used to develop a new formalism for representing galaxies in cosmological simulations of galaxy clusters. This method is used to investigate galaxy formation in a cluster environment and the interaction between cluster galaxies and the intracluster medium. The interaction between stellar populations in disk galaxies and the diffuse circumgalactic medium is studied in simulations of idealized disk galaxies. The interplay of stellar feedback and the development of multiphase gas in the circumgalactic medium, and in turn the influence of this multiphase gas falling back onto the stellar disk is investigated.

▼ Thermally-pulsating asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stars are hundreds of times larger and several tens of thousand times more luminous than than the Sun. They are composed of a compact carbon and oxygen core and an extended hydrogen convective envelope. These stars are intermediate-mass objects in their last stages of evolution, just before they die as a cooling compact star called a white dwarf. TP-AGB stars are the main producers of slow neutron capture (s-) process elements, which are elements heavier than iron such as strontium, yttrium, zirconium, caesium, barium, lanthanum and cerium. There are still large uncertainties associated with the formation of the main neutron source needed for the synthesis of these elements and with the physics of these stars in general. Observations of s-process element enhancements in stars can be used as constraints on theoretical models. For the first time we apply stellar population synthesis to the problem of s-process nucleosynthesis in TP-AGB stars and have constrained the free parameters describing the physics of the mixing process of these elements into the stellar envelope and the properties of the neutron source. We show that the amount of 13C which effectively contributes as a neutron source to s-process element synthesis tends to decrease with metallicity and that it is constrained to a narrower range of values than that previously believed. We also find that the mixing of s-process elements into the stellar envelope happens in stars of lower initial mass than those predicted by theoretical models. Binary systems which contained a TP-AGB star, now observed as a white dwarf, show significant orbital eccentricity. However, the strong tidal interaction which should have taken place due to the large size of a TP-AGB star must have dissipated significant amounts of energy and consequently circularised the orbit. This indicates that a mechanism which enhances the orbital eccentricity must take place in order to explain the observations. We propose a model for TP-AGB stars in binary systems in which their mass-loss is enhanced when the system components are closer to each other. This uneven mass-loss along the orbit provides a mechanism which enhances the orbital eccentricity in such a way that it competes with the tidal circularisation. We show that by applying this mechanism it is possible to explain the eccentric orbit of systems such as Sirius and of many barium stars, which so far had no explanation under the standard assumptions considering only tidal dissipation.

▼ I study the
evolution of peculiar low-mass, evolved
stars. Two groups of interest are the core-helium-burning hot subdwarfs and the shell-hydrogen-burning low-mass pre-white dwarfs.
Stars in both groups have had previous interactions with a companion in order to remove most of their outer layers to leave the
stars we see today. A detailed understanding of the past
evolution of these
stars provides important information about the interaction between close binary companions. This in itself is important, as approximately half of all
stars in the Milky Way are in a binary or multiple star system. Additionally, hot subdwarfs show a variety of unusual surface compositions, with some
stars showing lead and zirconium on their surface in amounts thousands of times more plentiful than seen in the Sun. It has been proposed that this is the result of radiative levitation, whereby outgoing radiation from the star can provide an upward force on certain elements, depending on their atomic structure.
The open-source MESA stellar
evolution code was used to compute models of hot subdwarf
stars and low-mass white dwarfs. These models were produced by using a large mass-loss rate to strip the outer layers from a red giant model, leaving either a low-mass core-helium burning model (subdwarf) or a model with an inert helium core and a thin hydrogen-burning envelope (pre-white dwarf) depending on the mass of the red giant core. Models were produced both with and without the effects of radiative levitation to determine the impact that this has on the
evolution and surface composition of these
stars. These were the first self-consistent models of hot subdwarfs from Main Sequence star through to the Horizontal Branch.
It is shown that radiative levitation is important in the phase of
evolution immediately following the ejection of the common envelope, something which had not previously been considered. Comparison with the abundances of the observed population of hot subdwarfs showed that while the qualitative abundance patterns agree, the efficiency of radiative levitation is too strong in the simulations. This implies that other mixing processes must be invoked in order to accurately reproduce the observed abundances. In the case of heavy metals such as lead and zirconium, the amount of atomic data presently available is insufficient to calculate radiative accelerations for these elements.
In the case of the low-mass white dwarfs, the interest here focused on the discovery by Pietrukowicz et al. (2017) and Kupfer et al. (2019) of large-amplitude pulsating variable
stars which show surface temperatures similar to hot subdwarfs. These
stars are currently known as Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsators (BLAPs). The proposed structure of these
stars is a low-mass pre-white dwarf, formed in a similar manner to a hot subdwarf. I used the GYRE stellar oscillation code to analyse the structure of my models and determined that low-mass pre-white dwarfs can pulsate when they have a temperature and surface gravity equivalent to the observed pulsators, with…

▼ Post asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars, central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe) and planetary nebulae (PNe) are important phases of stellar evolution as the material they feedback is the seed of subsequent star formation in a galaxy. The majority of low and intermediate mass stars are expected to evolve through these channels, however, it is uncertain how many actually do, and at what rate. The Galactic halo, with its older population, provides a direct test of evolutionary models for low mass stars. Birthrate estimates of PNe are uncertain and worse still, are in contradiction with accepted white dwarf (WD) birthrate estimates. Much of the uncertainty stems from the lack of complete samples and poorly determined distance estimates. New surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), Galaxy Evolutionary Ex- plorer (GALEX) and the INT Photometric H® Survey (IPHAS) have discovered many new PNe and have observed the far edges of the Galaxy. Improved methods of determining distances to CSPNe are presented here, using model atmospheres, evolutionary tracks and high resolution reddening maps utilising these revolution- ary surveys. Locating the CSPN is non-trivial particularly for evolved PNe, as they are ex- tended with their central star often displaced from the centre of the nebula. There- fore, photometric criteria are required to locate the CSPN in the nebula’s field. Synthetic photometry of the CSPNe is derived from spectral energy distributions (SEDs) computed from a grid of model atmospheres covering the parameter range of CSPNe. The SEDs are convolved with filter transmission curves to compute synthetic magnitudes for a given photometric system which are then calibrated with standard stars and WDs. A further project borne out of a search for luminous central stars of faint PNe, resulted in a systematic search for post-AGB stars in the Galactic halo. In this work, new candidate halo post-AGB stars are discovered from a search through the SDSS spectroscopic database. Combined with previously identified halo post- AGB stars, including the results of a sub-sample from the Palomar-Green (PG) survey, the number of observed and predicted populations are compared. The number of observed post-AGB candidates shows a remarkable deficit to expecta- tions. A survey within a subset of the photometric database of SDSS supports the findings of the PG and SDSS spectroscopic surveys. These findings provide strong evidence for a lack of post-AGB stars in the Galac- tic halo and thick disc. A plausible explanation is that a large fraction of stars in these old, metal-poor populations are evolving via alternative channels. The implications of such a result are far reaching with knock on effects for stellar evolutionary theory, galactic evolution and extragalactic redshift estimates.

▼ An increasing number of non-terminal giant eruptions are being observed by modern supernova and transient surveys. Very little is known about the origin of these giant eruptions and their progenitors which are presumably very-massive, evolved stars such as luminous blue variables, hypergiants, and supergiants. Motivated by the small number of progenitors positively associated with these giant eruptions, we have begun a survey of the luminous and evolved massive star populations in several nearby galaxies. We aim to identify the likely progenitors of the giant eruptions, study the spatial variations in the stellar populations, and examine the relationship between massive star populations and their environment.The work presented here is focused on stellar populations in the relatively nearby, giant, spiral galaxy M101 from sixteen archival BVI HST/ACS images. We create a catalog of stars in the direction to M101 with photometric errors < 10% for V < 24.5 and 50% completeness down to V = 26.5 even in regions of high stellar crowding. Using color and magnitude criteria we have identified candidate luminous OB type stars and blue supergiants, yellow supergiants, and red supergiants for future observation. We examine their spatial distributions across the face of M101 and find that the ratio of blue to red supergiants decreases by two orders of magnitude over the radial extent.From our catalog, we derive the the star formation history (SFH) for the stellar populations in five 2' wide annuli by fitting the color-magnitude diagrams. Binning the SFH into time frames corresponding to populations traced by Halpha, far ultraviolet (FUV), and near ultraviolet (NUV) emission, we show that the fraction of stellar populations young enough to contribute in Halpha is 15% " 35% in the inner regions, compared to less than 5% in the outer regions. This provides a sufficient explanation for the lack of Halpha emission at large radii. We also model the blue to red supergiant ratio in our five annuli, examine the effects that a metallicity gradient and variable SFH have on the predicted ratios, and compare to the observed values. We find that the radial behavior of our modeled blue to red supergiant ratios is highly sensitive to both spatial variations in the SFH and metallicity. Incorporating the derived SFH into the modeled ratios, we are able to reproduce the observed values at large radii (low metallicity), but at small radii (high metallicity) the modeled and observed ratios are discrepant. Though photometry has proven to be a powerful tool to identify candidate evolved massive stars and their effects on their host galaxy, spectroscopy is necessary to study the physical properties of individual stars. We observed moderate-resolution optical spectra for 56 of the brightest stars in the direction to M101 using the Multiple Mirror Telescope. We also created light curves for each target using multi-epoch UBV R images from the Large Binocular Telescope. We separate the spectroscopially confirmed members of M101 into four groups: hot…

▼ The results of a multi-faceted search for spectral line emission from galaxies at high redshift are presented. Deep two-dimensional spectra of four blank sky fields were taken at the Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT) at wavelengths corresponding to redshifted Lyα emission in the range 2.7 < z < 4.7, and the resulting non-detections are used to place upper limits on the space density of randomly distributed Lyα emitters. Although the predictions of a conservative model of galaxy formation incorporating cold dark matter are not excluded in a statistical sense, the search would have detected star-forming dwarf galaxies comparable to the Magellanic Clouds at z = 3, given minimal extinction by dust. The Goddard Fabry-Perot Imager, a piezo-electrically controlled tunable narrow-band filter system with a stand-alone CCD system, was developed and tested, and used at the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) 4 m telescope to image the damped Lyα absorbing clouds towards three high-redshift QSOs in the light of redshifted Lyα. A companion galaxy to one of the damped systems was discovered and confirmed with followup spectroscopy, and its properties are presented and discussed; the companion exhibits strong Lyα and weak C IV λ1549 and He II λ1640 emission lines, and is apparently producing
stars at a rate SFR ∼ 5 - 10M(⊙) yr⁻¹. The implications of the companion's proximity to the damped cloud are analyzed in view of the previous non-detections, and a lower limit to the spatial correlation function of the damped Lyα systems with galaxies is given. Spectroscopic limits on Lyα emission from seven damped systems, including some known to have low chemical and dust abundances, imply low levels of star formation, SFR ≲ 1 M(⊙) yr⁻¹, but extinction by dust in some cases may cause an underestimation of these rates. With near-infrared spectrographs at the MMT and the KPNO 4 m, eight damped Lyα systems were searched for spectral lines characteristic of star formation regions but redshifted from the optical into the near-infrared. A possible detection of (O II) λ3727 and Hβ from one system implies a star formation rate on the order of 100 M(⊙) yr⁻¹, though the remainder of the observations produced non-detections compatible with the Lyα emission limits. The implications for galaxy formation and
evolution at high redshift are discussed.

▼ Due to their initially metal-free composition, the fi rst
stars in the Universe, which
are termed Population III (Pop III)
stars, were fundamentally different than later
generations of
stars. As of now, we have yet to observe a truly metal-free star although
much effort has been placed on this task and that of nding the second
generation of
stars. Given they were the first
stars, Pop III
stars are expected to
have made the fi rst contributions to elements heavier than those produced during
the Big Bang. For decades signi cant mixing between H and He burning layers has
been reported in simulations of massive Pop III
stars. In this thesis I investigate
this poorly understood phenomenon and I posit that interactions between hydrogen
and helium-burning layers in Pop III
stars may have had a profound impact on their
nucleosynthetic contribution to the early universe, and second generation of
stars.
First, I examined a single massive Pop III star. This was done using a combination
of stellar
evolution and single-zone nucleosynthesis calculations. For this project I
investigated whether the abundances in the most iron-poor
stars observed at the
time of publication, were reproducible by an interaction between H and He-burning
layers. Here it was found that the i process may operate under such conditions. The
neutrons are able to ll in odd elements such as Na, creating what is sometimes called
the `light-element abundance signature' in observed CEMP
stars. I also present the
finding that it is possible to produce elements heavier than iron as a result of the
i process operating in massive Pop III
stars.
A parameter study I conducted on H-He interactions in a grid of 22/26 MESA
stellar
evolution simulations is then described. I grouped these interactions into
four categories based on the core-contraction phase they occur in and the convective
stability of the helium-burning layer involved. I also examine in detail the hydrogen burning
conditions within massive Pop III
stars and the behaviour of the CN cycle
during H-He interactions. The latter is compared to observed CN ratios in CEMP
stars.
Finally, I describe the first ever 4pi 3D hydrodynamic simulations of H-He shells
in Pop III
stars. I also examine the challenges in modelling such con gurations and
demonstrate the contributions I have made in modelling Pop III H and He shell
systems in the PPMStar hydrodynamics code. My contributions apply to other stellar
modelling applications as well.

▼ Accurate knowledge of stellar parameters such as mass, radius, effective temperature, and composition inform our understanding of stellar
evolution and constrain theoretical models. Binaries and, in particular, eclipsing binaries make it possible to measure directly these parameters without reliance on models or scaling relations. In this dissertation we derive fundamental parameters of
stars in close binary systems with and without (detected) tertiary companions to test and inform theories of stellar and binary
evolution. A subsample of 41 detached and semi-detached short-period eclipsing binaries observed by NASA’s
Kepler mission and analyzed for eclipse timing variations form the basis of our sample. Radial velocities and spectroscopic orbits for these systems are derived from moderate resolution optical spectra and used to determine individual masses for 34 double-lined spectroscopic binaries, five of which have detected tertiaries. The resulting mass ratio M
2/M
1 distribution is bimodal, dominated by binaries with like-mass pairs and semi-detached classical Algol systems that have undergone mass transfer. A more detailed analysis of KIC 5738698, a detached binary consisting of two F-type main sequence
stars with an orbital period of 4.8 days, uses the derived radial velocities to reconstruct the primary and secondary component spectra via Doppler tomography and derive atmospheric parameters for both
stars. These parameters are then combined with
Kepler photometry to obtain accurate masses and radii through light curve and radial velocity fitting with the binary modeling software ELC. A similar analysis is performed for KOI-81, a rapidly-rotating B-type star orbited by a low-mass white dwarf, using UV spectroscopy to identify the hot companion and determine masses and temperatures of both components. Well defined stellar parameters for KOI-81 and the other close binary systems examined in this dissertation enable detailed analyses of the physical attributes of systems in different evolutionary stages, providing important constraints for the formation and
evolution of close binary systems.

▼ Motivated by the desire to investigate two of the largest outstanding problems in galactic evolution – stellar feedback and galactic chemical evolution – we develop the first set of galaxy-scale simulations that simultaneously follow star formation with individual stars and their associated multi-channel stellar feedback and multi-element metal yields. We developed these simulations to probe the way in which stellar feedback, including stellar winds, stellar radiation, and supernovae, couples to the interstellar medium (ISM), regulates star formation, and drives outflows in dwarf galaxies. We follow the evolution of the individual metal yields associated with these stars in order to trace how metals mix within the ISM and are ejected into the circumgalactic and intergalactic media (CGM, IGM) through outflows. This study is directed with the ultimate goal of leveraging the ever increasing quality of stellar abundance measurements within our own Milky Way galaxy and in nearby dwarf galaxies to understand galactic evolution.
Our simulations follow the evolution of an idealized, isolated, low mass dwarf galaxy (Mvir ∼ 109 M ) for ∼ 500 Myr using the adaptive mesh refinement hydrodynamics code Enzo. We implemented a new star formation routine which deposits stars individually from 1 M to 100 M . Using tabulated stellar properties, we follow the stellar feedback from each star. For massive stars (M∗ > 8 M ) we follow their stellar winds, ionizing radiation (using an adaptive ray-tracing radiative transfer method), the FUV radiation which leads to photoelectric heating of dust grains, Lyman-Werner radiation, which leads to H2 dissociation, and core collapse supernovae. In addition, we follow the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) winds of low-mass stars (M∗ < 8 M ) and Type Ia supernovae. We investigate how this detailed model for stellar feedback drives the evolution of low mass galaxies. We find agreement with previous studies that these low mass dwarf galaxies exhibit bursty, irregular star formation histories with significant feedback-driven winds.
Using these simulations, we investigate the role that stellar radiation feedback plays in the evolution of low mass dwarf galaxies. In this regime, we find that the local effects of stellar radiation (within ~ 10 pc of the massive, ionizing source star) act to regulate star formation by rapidly destroying cold, dense gas around newly formed stars. For the first time, we find that the long-range radiation effects far from the birth sites are vital for carving channels of diffuse gas in the ISM which dramatically increase the effect of supernovae. We find this effect is necessary to drive strong winds with significant mass loading factors and has a significant impact on the metal content of the ISM.
Focusing on the evolution of individual metals within this galaxy, it remains an outstanding question as to what degree (if any) metal mixing processes in a multi-phase ISM influence observed stellar abundance patterns. To address this issue, we characterize the…

▼ Les étoiles enregistrent le passé dans leurs âges, leurs compositions chimiques et leur cinématique. Elles peuvent fournir des contraintes détaillées sur les premières époques de la formation des galaxies, jusqu’aux redshifts supérieurs à deux (un recul d’environ 10 milliards d’années). En particulier, les âges stellaires sont essentiels pour la compréhension de l’histoire de la Voie Lactée et pour la comparaison avec les modèles d’évolution galactique.L’avènement de la mission spatiale Gaia ouvre la voie à l’estimation de l’âge pour de grands échantillons d’étoiles. En particulier, les méthodes basées sur l’ajustement d’isochrones peuvent être utilisées. En plus, les distances précises mesurées par Gaia permettent de développer les estimateurs d’âge indirects basés sur l’horloge d’évolution de la population stellaire. En fait, les schémas d’abondance chimique, imprimés sur les atmosphères stellaires, représentent les conditions du gaz au moment de la formation des étoiles à des redshifts supérieurs à deux. Les produits d’évolution chimique de différents canaux nucléosynthétiques peuvent donc fournir une approximation temporelle, qui, après l’étalonnage, peut être utilisé comme un estimateur d’âge.Cette thèse est centrée sur l’utilisation d’horloge chimique particulière : l’abondance [Y/Mg]. À cette fin, les premières données astrométriques de la mission Gaia ont été combinées avec des données spectroscopiques à haute résolution du catalogue AMBRE HARPS. Tout d’abord, l’identification des objets d’AMBRE a été améliorée grâce à la correspondance avec le catalogue 2MASS et la Gaia DR1. Au total, 6776 étoiles ont été identifiées.Deuxièmement, afin d’obtenir des estimations précises du rapport d’abondance [Y/Mg] pour les étoiles du disque galactique, l’outil automatisé GAUGUIN, intégré à la chaîne Gaia DPAC APSIS, a été optimisé et testé. En particulier, les capacités d’estimation d’abondances chimiques ont été améliorées pour des grilles de spectres synthétiques irrégulières, couvrant une large gamme de paramètres atmosphériques stellaires.Troisièmement, le ratio [Y/Mg] a été estimé pour environ 2000 étoiles à partir des données spectroscopiques d’AMBRE HARPS. Les erreurs internes et externes des abondances ont été soigneusement analysées. Les étoiles étudiées appartiennent principalement aux disques mince et épais galactique, dans la gamme de métallicité allant de –1,0 dex à 0,5 dex.Quatrièmement, grâce à l’estimation d’âge basée sur l’adaptation des isochrones pour 342 "turn-off" étoiles d’échantillon, la sensibilité à l’âge du rapport [Y/Mg] a été étudié. L’analyse révèle une corrélation claire entre [Y/Mg] et l’âge pour les étoiles du disque mince de différentes métallicités. Cela correspond aux études antérieures sur les étoiles de type solaire. De plus, aucune dépendance à la métallicité avec l’âge stellaire n’est détectée, donc le ratio [Y/Mg] peut être utilisé comme un indicateur fiable d’âge. Enfin, la relation [Y/Mg] versus l’âge présente une discontinuité entre les étoiles du disque épais autour de 9–10 Gyrs.…

▼ I have conducted two separate observational tests of the current theoretical
paradigm for galaxy formation and
evolution, hierarchical galaxy formation in a
Cold Dark Matter dominated universe. The first project is a spectroscopic study
of nineteen low surface brightness galaxies observed with the 9.2m Hobby-Eberly
Telescope. I determine redshifts to all the galaxies, and report both emission line
and absorption line index strengths, where appropriate. Correlations are found between
the gas-phase metallicity indicators and the stellar indices which are sensitive
to both metallicity and age. I interpret the star formation and chemical evolutionary
histories of these galaxies using a combination of simple stellar population models
and nebular emission models. The correlations observed between emission and absorption
measurements place strong constraints on possible star formation histories.
We find that low surface brightness galaxies are a diverse class, with properties as
broad as those exhibited by the full range of high surface brightness galaxies.
The second project is a study of the ages in early-type field galaxies, and a
comparison with the ages found for a sample of cluster galaxies. I present preliminary
results and interpretations based on new stellar population modelling methods.
The new model explicitly accounts for age, metallicity, and α–abundance ratios for
the stellar population, by making predictions for low resolution line indices. I measure
the ages, metallicities, and α–abundance as a function of radius, from the center
of each galaxy to beyond one effective radius. The gradients are consistent with
younger, more metal rich stellar populations in the centers of most of the galaxies,
but a constant α–abundance ratio within any one galaxy.
I have generated an all-sky catalog which measures the local density of
galaxies around every galaxy at cz<10,000 km s
−1
. This facilitates the creation
of low redshift field galaxy samples for follow-up study, in particular to study the
effects of environment on galaxy
evolution. I attempt to quantify the effects on
the catalog of the varying spectroscopic survey completeness across the sky, and
compare my local density measures with published field galaxy samples. The full
catalog (42,024 galaxies, with ∼ 50 parameters per galaxy) is included in the electronic
version of this dissertation.

▼ Les ondes internes gravito-inertielles sont des ondes se propageant dans les milieux fluides stablement stratifiés en rotation. Leurs forces de rappel sont la poussée d'Archimède et l'accélération de Coriolis. Elles sont capables de redistribuer de l'énergie et du moment cinétique du fait de leur dissipation et de leur possible déferlement non-linéaire, jouant ainsi un rôle crucial dans l’évolution dynamique des corps dans lesquels elles se propagent. Dans cette thèse, nous nous attachons à caractériser leur propagation, leur amortissement et les échanges de moment cinétique qu’elles induisent, dans les environnements complexes que sont les intérieurs stellaires et de planètes géantes.Au sein des planètes géantes, nous étudions la propagation et la dissipation d’ondes gravito-inertielles de marée, dans une région de convection stratifiée susceptible de se développer proche du cœur. Nous nous intéressons tout d’abord à leur propagation libre et nous montrons qu’une onde incidente sur une telle région est efficacement transmise à condition qu’elle soit résonante avec un de ses modes propres. Sinon, l’onde est réfléchie et ne pénètre pas dans les régions plus profondes de la planète. Ensuite, nous étudions numériquement la dissipation de marée induite lorsque ces ondes sont excitées par un forçage gravitationnel dû à la présence d’un satellite. Nous montrons que le taux de dissipation de marée est en moyenne augmenté par rapport à un milieu purement convectif. Les contributions les plus importantes à cette augmentation proviennent de la dissipation des ondes gravito-inertielles résonantes avec les modes propres de la région de convection stratifiée, qui sont aussi celles qui sont efficacement transmises. Ces résultats sont compatibles avec les hauts taux de dissipation de marée récemment observés dans Jupiter et Saturne.Dans les zones radiatives des étoiles, nous présentons en premier lieu une étude semi-analytique linéaire de l’influence de la rotation globale et différentielle, sur le transport de moment cinétique induit par la dissipation des ondes gravito-inertielles. Dans un modèle équatorial, nous montrons que la rotation a pour effet l’augmentation de la dissipation thermique des ondes. Celle-ci est particulièrement significative dans leur région d’excitation, modifiant ainsi le dépôt de moment cinétique. Nous montrons que cet effet se révèle d’autant plus efficace que l’étoile est jeune et massive. En parallèle de ce travail semi-analytique, cette thèse s’est attachée à développer un modèle 3D non-linéaire ab initio d’une étoile massive couplant le coeur convectif à une enveloppe radiative étendue, sous l’influence de la rotation. L’analyse détaillée de simulations numériques à haute performance, réalisées avec le code ASH, nous a permis de caractériser les propriétés du spectre d’excitation des ondes et des modes résonants qui s’établissent dans l’enveloppe radiative. Proche de la surface de l’étoile, nous montrons que les ondes peuvent atteindre une amplitude suffisante pour interagir de manière significative…

▼ This dissertation presents a technique for the identification and classification of late-type stars and for the estimation of M star metallicities. The technique uses broad-band, V and I, CCD images to identify red stars and two intermediate-band CCD images to classify these as carbon or M types. One of the intermediate passbands is centered on a TiO absorption band at 7750Å and the other is centered on a CN absorption band at 8100Å. Color-color plots of V-I versus the intermediate-band index, 77-81, clearly distinguishes carbon from M stars. Observations of both early- and late-type stars were used to define the 77-81 system based upon the intermediate-band filters. The TiO bandstrength deduced from the 77-81 color as a function of V-I color was investigated for field giants and giants in 12 globular clusters. A linear correlation between [Fe/H] and the V-I color at a given TiO bandstrength was found. This correlation can be used to estimate the metallicity of M giants. The stellar population of a field in Baade's Window was examined using this technique. Many late-M stars and no carbon stars were found. The color-color diagram for Baade's Window suggests a range of metallicities for the M giants of [Fe/H] ≈ -0.4 to > +0.2. The stellar population of the Sagittarius Dwarf Irregular galaxy (Sagdig) was examined using the 77-81 system. A method for estimating reddening based upon the color mode of foreground stars was developed for the analysis of the Sagdig data. Sagdig is estimated to be ~ 1.3 megaparsecs distant. Bright blue and red stars in Sagdig are evidence for recent star formation. Carbon stars were identified in Sagdig. They display a bimodal luminosity and color distribution which suggests distinct epochs of star forming activity between 1 and 10 Gyr ago. The spatial distribution of carbon stars and bright red stars in Sagdig shows this galaxy to be much larger than previously thought.

▼ Science fiction has long teased our imaginations with tales of planets with two suns. How these planets form and evolve, and their survival prospects, are active fields of research. Expanding on previous work, four new Kepler candidate circumbinary planet systems were evolved through the complex common-envelope phase. The dynamical response of the planets to this dramatic evolutionary phase was simulated using open-source binary star
evolution and numerical integrator codes. All four systems undergo at least one common-envelope phase; one experiences two and another, three. Their planets tend to survive the common-envelope phase, regardless of relative inclination, and migrate to wider, more eccentric orbits; orbital expansion can occur well within a single planetary orbit. During the secondary common-envelope phases, the planets can gain significant eccentricity to be ejected from the system. Depending on the mass-loss rate, the planets either migrate adiabatically outward within a few orbits, or non-adiabatically to much more eccentric orbits. Their final orbital configurations are consistent with those of post-common-envelope circumbinary planet candidates, suggesting a possible origin for the latter. The results from this work provide a basis for future observations of post-common-envelope circumbinary systems.

▼ The relation between central or mean metallicity and luminosity in elliptical galaxies is a well observed phenomenon. Theoretical explanations proposed for this relation include scenarios in which peak metallicities are determined either by the epoch at which the remaining gas is expelled from the galaxy by supernova-driven winds, or by the efficiency of star formation following a series of mergers by small stellar/gaseous subsystems. These explanations suggest that an investigation of the metallicity-luminosity relation for spiral galaxies might have implications for galaxy formation models and for the origin of SO galaxies. The existing evidence concerning SO's points to a relation between mean metallicity and total luminosity. The problem of measuring metal abundances in the nuclei of spiral galaxies is that the line strength variations due to metallicity changes must be distinguished from those due to a filling in of the lines by the continuum from a young population. This was accomplished by measuring absorption line indices for Mg b and for a CN band at λ3880. Nuclear spectra of twenty ellipticals, obtained with a reticon detector, show these two indices to be well correlated for pure old populations; models including the effects of young
stars show a very different trajectory for age effects. A procedure is thus defined for determining the metallicity of the population and the fraction of light coming from the young component, and this procedure is applied to observations of 25 spiral galaxies. A comparison of the results of this analysis with detailed population syntheses for six galaxies confirms the correctness of the procedure. In order to obtain bulge luminosities and bulge-to-disk ratios, photographic plates of twenty-two of the spirals were obtained. This material was digitized and reduced to a series of radial luminosity profiles for each galaxy. A procedure was established for decomposing the profiles into disk and bulge contributions. In addition to the desired gross parameters of the bulge and disk, the inclinations and true bulge flattenings for some of the galaxies are accurately determined. A discussion of the results of this analysis deals with the nature of departures from the exponential fitting function for some disks, a decomposition of the Hubble sequence into quantitative parameters, and the implication of the distribution of true bulge flattenings. The metallicities and luminosities are then combined, and two tests indicate that in spiral galaxies, central metallicity and bulge luminosity follow the same relation seen in ellipticals. The implications of this result are twofold. First, galaxy formation models in which the disk material can affect the processes which determine the central metallicity in the bulge are ruled out. Specifically, it is likely that the disks of spiral galaxies are not undergoing vigorous star formation at the time the bulge ceases forming
stars. A picture in which the disk material has not yet accreted on to the galaxy at this time is also quite consistent. A…

▼ Le moment cinétique d’une étoile, comme sa masse ou sa composition chimique, est l’une de ses propriétés fondamentales, l’un de celles qui varient à cours du temps et influent sur la structure de l’étoile. Celui-ci peut être global, on l’observe alors à travers la vitesse de rotation de surface d’une étoile, ou local, auquel cas il nous faut sonder l’intérieur stellaire et étudier les processus de redistribution au sein des régions internes du moment cinétique. Au cours de cette thèse dans le cadre du projet ToUpiES, nous nous sommes intéressés en particulier à l’évolution du moment cinétique des étoiles de faible masse au cours de leur jeunesse, qui est une période critique de leur vie en ce qui concerne l’impact et l’évolution du moment cinétique. Nous avons d’abord inclus au sein du code d’évolution STAREVOL les prescriptions les plus à jour pour l’extraction du moment cinétique par les vents magnétisés. L’étude systématique des combinaisons de ce freinage avec différentes prescriptions existantes pour le traitement de la turbulence horizontale et verticale dans la zone radiative des étoiles, nous a permis de sélectionner un jeu de prescriptions capable de reproduire, les périodes de rotation dans les amas ouverts pour une étoile de type solaire. Nous comparons ensuite l’application de ces processus de transport et d’extraction du moment cinétique à un modèle de 1, 2 masse solaire, aux autres processus jugés potentiellement efficaces pour transport le moment cinétique à ce jour (ondes internes de gravités, instabilité MHD de Tayler-Spruit, modes de gravités). Cela nous a permis de présenter dans chacun des cas les spécificités du profil de rotation prédit par ces différents modes de transport. Puis, nous avons mis en place un modèle rotationnel fonctionnel adapté à l’ensemble des étoiles de faible masse, permettant entre autre de reproduire les périodes de rotation observées dans les amas jeunes pour les étoiles de faible masse (avec une masse comprise entre 0, 2 et 1, 1 M⊙). Ceci a donné lieu à une grille de modèle d’évolution unique à ce jour. Enfin, cette grille a été utilisée dans le cadre de travaux dans différents domaines, tels que l’impact de l’évolution stellaire sur l’habitabilité d’un système, la caractérisation d’étoiles-hôte ou encore l’étude de l’évolution de la topologie magnétique au cours des phases jeunes.
The angular momentum content of a star, as its mass or its chemical composition is one of the fundamental properties of a star, one of those that evolves with time and modify the stellar structure. The angular momentum can be studied as a global property, we can then observe it through the surface rotation velocity, or a local property that vary inside the star, we therefore have to probe the stellar radiation zone and study the secular angular momentum redistribution processes that happen in this region. During this PhD, in the frame of the ToUpiES project, we have been especially interested in the evolution of the…

The radial velocity variability technique – 7. The binary fraction of CSPN – 8. Conclusion – Appendices.
Planetary nebulae are the end-products of intermediate-mass stars evolution, following a phase of spherical expansion of their atmospheres at the end of their lives. Observationally, it has been estimated that 80% of them have non-spherical shapes. Such a high fraction is puzzling and has occupied the planetary nebula community for more than 30 years. One scenario that would allow to justify the observed shapes is that a comparable fraction of the progenitors of central stars of planetary nebula (CSPN) are not single, but possess a companion. The shape of the nebulae would then be the result of an interaction with this companion. The high fraction of non-spherical planetary nebulae would thus imply a high fraction of binary central stars of planetary nebula, making binarity a preferred channel for planetary nebula formation. After presenting the current state of knowledge regarding planetary nebula formation and shaping and reviewing the diverse efforts to find binaries in planetary nebulae, I present my work to detect a near-infrared excess that would be the signature of the presence of cool companions. The first part of the project consists in the analysis of data and photometry acquired and conducted by myself. The second part details an attempt to make use of archived datasets: the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 optical survey and the extended database assembled by Frew (2008). I also present results from a radial velocity analysis of VLT/UVES spectra for 14 objects aiming to the detection of spectroscopic companions. Finally I give details of the analysis of optical photometry data from our observations associated to the detection of companions around centrals star of planetary nebula using the photometric variability technique. The main result of this thesis is from the near-infrared excess studies which I combine with previouslypublished data. I conclude that if the detected red and NIR flux excess is indicative of a stellar companion then the binary fraction is larger than what we may expect based on the main-sequence progenitor population binary fraction and therefore conclude that binarity is a preferential channel for the formation of planetary nebula. I finish by underlining the need for a sample size of ~150 objects to decrease the uncertainty on the planetary nebula population binary fraction and increase the statistical significance of this result.

▼ Planetary nebulae (PNe) represent the late stages of low-mass stellar
evolution. The formation of the myriad of PNe morphologies involves processes that are present in many other astrophysical systems such as the wind-blown bubbles of massive
stars. In this dissertation we present the result of an X-ray study of PNe, and two modeling projects that incorporate the resulting data with the goal of furthering our understanding of their X-ray properties and morphologies, and the 3D multiwavelength structure of PNe. This work expands the Chandra Planetary Nebula Survey (ChanPlaNS), which was designed to investigate X-ray emission from PNe, frm 35 to 59 objects. The results from Cycle 14 Chandra observations of 24 PNe brought the overall ChanPlaNS diffuse X-ray detection rate to ~27% and the point source detection rate to ~36%. The detection of diffuse X-ray emission is unmistakably associated with young (<~5 x 10³ yr), compact (Rneb <~0.15 pc) PNe that exhibit closed elliptical structures and high electron densities (ne >~ 10³ cm⁻³). Utilizing the ChanPlaNS data for 14 PNe that exhibit diffuse X-ray emission, we constructed simple, spherically symmetric two-phase models using the astrophysical modeling tool, SHAPE. Our models consisted of a hot bubble and swept-up shell with the intent of investigating th X-ray morphology of these objects and the extinction caused by the swept-up shell. We compared simulated and observed radial profiles and we conclude that while most (~79%) PNe are best described by a limb-darkened X-ray morphology, this is due to nebular extinction of an intrinsically limb-brightened hot bubble structure. Expanding upon our two-phase model, we used SHAPE to generate a 3D model of the brightest diffuse X-ray PN, BD+30°3639, with the model constrained by previously published multiwavelength data extending from the radio to the X-ray regimes. Our aim was to investigate the multiwavelength 3D morphology of this well-studied nebula and draw connections with other PNe. We interpreted kinematic and observational data to best fit our model with observations and found that the inherent structure shares similarities with several other PNe, suggesting a common evolutionary path.

▼ A number of stellar streams, moving and
kinematic groups were identified in the Milky Way galaxy. Some of
them are suspected to originate from accreted satellites. Can we
also find such traces of ancient merger events in the solar
neighbourhood? Helmi et al. (2006) identified three new coherent
groups of stars in the Geneva-Copenhagen survey (Nordström et al.
2004) and suggested that those might correspond to remains of
disrupted satellites. With the detailed chemical composition
analysis of the newly identified kinematic group we aim to
contribute to the Galactic substructure studies. The main aim of
the study is to perform a high-resolution spectroscopic elemental
abundance analysis in stars belonging to one of the newly
identified kinematic groups and to compare the results with other
stars in the Galactic disc. We performed the detailed chemical
analysis of 21 stars attributed to Group 3 of the Geneva-Copenhagen
survey and six comparison Galactic thin disc stars. The main
atmospheric parameters and abundances of 22 chemical elements were
determined. All programme stars are overabundant in oxygen and
α-elements compared with the Galactic thin-disc. This abundance
pattern has similar characteristics to those of the Galactic thick
disc. The abundances of chemical elements produced predominantly by
the r-process are overabundant in comparison with Galactic
thin-disc dwarfs of the same metallicity. The abundances of
iron-group elements and chemical elements produced mainly by... [to

A number of stellar streams, moving and
kinematic groups were identified in the Milky Way galaxy. Some of
them are suspected to originate from accreted satellites. Can we
also find such traces of ancient merger events in the solar
neighbourhood? Helmi et al. (2006) identified three new coherent
groups of stars in the Geneva-Copenhagen survey (Nordström et al.
2004) and suggested that those might correspond to remains of
disrupted satellites. With the detailed chemical composition
analysis of the newly identified kinematic group we aim to
contribute to the Galactic substructure studies. The main aim of
the study is to perform a high-resolution spectroscopic elemental
abundance analysis in stars belonging to one of the newly
identified kinematic groups and to compare the results with other
stars in the Galactic disc. We performed the detailed chemical
analysis of 21 stars attributed to Group 3 of the Geneva-Copenhagen
survey and six comparison Galactic thin disc stars. The main
atmospheric parameters and abundances of 22 chemical elements were
determined. All programme stars are overabundant in oxygen and
α-elements compared with the Galactic thin-disc. This abundance
pattern has similar characteristics to those of the Galactic thick
disc. The abundances of chemical elements produced predominantly by
the r-process are overabundant in comparison with Galactic
thin-disc dwarfs of the same metallicity. The abundances of
iron-group elements and chemical elements produced mainly by... [to

▼ Rotation has a number of important effects on the evolution of stars. Apart from structural changes because of the centrifugal force, turbulent mixing and meridional circulation can dramatically affect a star's chemical evolution. This leads to changes in the surface temperature and luminosity as well as modifying its lifetime. Rotation decreases the surface gravity, causes enhanced mass loss and leads to surface abundance anomalies of various chemical isotopes all of which have been observed. The replication of these physical effects with simple stellar evolution models is very difficult and has resulted in the use of numerous different formulations to describe the physics. We have adapted the Cambridge stellar evolution code to incorporate a number of different physical models for rotation, including several treatments of angular momentum transport in convection zones. We compare detailed grids of stellar evolution models along with simulated stellar populations to identify the key differences between them. We then consider how these models relate to observed data.
Models of rotationally-driven dynamos in stellar radiative zones have suggested that magnetohydrodynamic transport of angular momentum and chemical composition can dominate over the otherwise purely hydrodynamic processes. If this is the case then a proper consideration of the interaction between rotation and magnetic fields is essential. We have adapted our purely hydrodynamic model to include the evolution of the magnetic field with a pair of time-dependent advection – diffusion equations coupled with the equations for the evolution of the angular momentum distribution and stellar structure. This produces a much more complete, though still reasonably simple, model for the magnetic field evolution. We consider how the surface field strength varies during the main-sequence evolution and compare the surface enrichment of nitrogen for a simulated stellar population with observations.
Strong magnetic fields are also observed at the end of the stellar lifetime. The surface magnetic field strength of white dwarfs is observed to vary from very little up to 109G. As well as considering the main-sequence evolution of magnetic fields we also look at how the strongest magnetic fields in white dwarfs may be generated by dynamo action during the common envelope phase of strongly interacting binary stars. The resulting magnetic field depends strongly on the electrical conductivity of the white dwarf, the lifetime of the convective envelope and the variability of the magnetic dynamo. We assess the various energy sources available and estimate necessary lifetimes of the common envelope.
