Structure and Evolution of Low-Mass Stars: An Overview and Some Open Problems
A review is presented of some of the ingredients, assumptions and techniques that are used in the computation of the structure and evolution of low-mass stars. Emphasis is placed on several ingredients which are still subject to considerable uncertainty. An overview of the evolution of low-mass stars is also presented, from the cloud collapse phase all the way to the white dwarf cooling curve.
متن کاملEvolution of Low Mass Stars
We describe the evolution of low mass (1.5 < M=M < 0:02) stars and brown dwarfs starting from the hydrostatic phases of pre{main sequence contraction and evolving along the deuterium and lithium burning to reach the hydrogen burning main sequence or the brown dwarf degenerate cooling. With the help of new models computed by us, which we describe to the community taking advantage of this occasio...
متن کاملStructure and evolution of low-mass stars
We present extensive calculations of the structure and the evolution of low-mass stars in the range 0.07-0.8M , for metallicities −2.0 ≤ [M/H] ≤ 0.0. These calculations are based on the most recent description of the microphysics characteristic of these dense and cool objects and on the latest generation of grainless non-grey atmosphere models. We examine the evolution of the different mechanic...
متن کاملThe rotational evolution of low-mass stars
We summarise recent progress in the understanding of the rotational evolution of low-mass stars (here defined as solar mass down to the hydrogen burning limit) both in terms of observations and modelling. Wide-field imaging surveys on moderate-size telescopes can now efficiently derive rotation periods for hundreds to thousands of open cluster members, providing unprecedented sample sizes which...
متن کاملThe angular momentum evolution of low-mass stars
We present a model for the evolution of surface rotation of stars in themass range from 0.5 to 1.1M , from their first appearance in theHRdiagramasTTauri stars up to the age of the Sun. The model is based on 3 assumptions: i) nearly solid-body rotation, ii) pre-main sequence disk locking, iii) wind braking. The initial conditions and the calibration of the braking law are completely determined ...
