Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Pulsating Variable Stars, Rotation, Convective Boundaries, and Energy Conservation
Authors: Bill Paxton, Radosław Smolec, Josiah Schwab, A. Gautschy, Lars Bildsten, Matteo Cantiello, Aaron Dotter, Robert Farmer, Jared A. Goldberg, Adam S. Jermyn, Shashi M. Kanbur, Pablo Marchant, Anne Thoul, Richard H. D. Townsend, William M. Wolf, Michael Zhang

• Published: 08 Jul 2019
• Journal: Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
• TL;DR: In this paper, the capabilities of the open-knowledge software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) have been updated to improve numerical energy conservation capabilities, including during mass changes.

•Journal Article• 10.1038/NCOMMS6788
Theoretical predictions for hot-carrier generation from surface plasmon decay
Authors: Ravishankar Sundararaman, Prineha Narang, Adam S. Jermyn, William A. Goddard, Harry A. Atwater

• Published: 16 Dec 2014
• Journal: Nature Communications
• TL;DR: It is found that carrier energy distributions are sensitive to the electronic band structure of the metal: gold and copper produce holes hotter than electrons by 1–2 eV, while silver and aluminium distribute energies more equitably between electrons and holes.

•Journal Article• 10.1093/MNRAS/STZ514
Slowing the spins of stellar cores
Authors: Jim Fuller, Anthony L. Piro, Adam S. Jermyn

• Published: 21 May 2019
• Journal: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
• TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the magnetic Tayler instability and argue that it saturates when turbulent dissipation of the perturbed magnetic field energy is equal to magnetic energy generation via winding, leading to larger magnetic field amplitudes, more efficient AM transport, and smaller shears than predicted by the classic Tayler-Spruit dynamo.
