Optical light curves of {gamma}-ray bursts
We present a comprehensive analysis of the optical and X-ray light curves (LCs) and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of a large sample of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows to... -
White dwarf cooling timescales
An accurate assessment of white dwarf cooling times is paramount so that white dwarf cosmochronology of Galactic populations can be put on more solid grounds. This issue is... -
Public code ARoME for modeling the RM effect
The Rossiter-McLaughlin (hereafter RM) effect is a key tool for measuring the projected spin-orbit angle between stellar spin axes and orbits of transiting planets. However, the... -
Equation of state for magnetized plasmas
We have developed an analytical equation of state (EOS) for magnetized fully-ionized plasmas that cover a wide range of temperatures and densities, from low-density classical... -
Low-velocity shocks models
Large-scale motions in galaxies (supernovae explosions, galaxy collisions, galactic shear etc.) generate turbulence, which allows a fraction of the available kinetic energy to... -
Model 1D (LHD) and 3D (CO5BOLD) spectra
To derive space velocities of stars along the line of sight from wavelength shifts in stellar spectra requires accounting for a number of second-order effects. For most stars,... -
White dwarf cooling sequences
We present new diagnostics of white dwarf (WD) cooling sequences and luminosity functions (LFs) in the near-infrared (NIR) bands that will exploit the sensitivity and resolution... -
Looking for the rainbow on exoplanets
Looking for the primary rainbow in starlight that is reflected by exoplanets appears to be a promising method to search for liquid water clouds in exoplanetary atmospheres. Ice... -
Hydrocarbon solids. optEC(s) model. II.
The properties of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) dust evolve in response to the local radiation field in the inter- stellar medium and the evolution of these properties... -
Refractive index of hydrocarbon solids
The properties of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) dust are known to evolve in response to the local conditions. We present an adaptable model for the determination of the... -
Visibilities of stellar oscillation modes
Kepler produces a large amount of data used for asteroseismological analyses, particularly of solar-like stars and red giants. The mode amplitudes observed in the Kepler... -
Reaction rates of NeNa-MgAl chains in AGB stage
We test the effect of proton-capture reaction rate uncertainties on the abundances of the Ne, Na, Mg and Al isotopes processed by the NeNa and MgAl chains during hot bottom... -
Fundamental parameters of fast-rotating B stars
In this paper we develop a calculation code to account for the effects carried by fast rotation on the observed spectra of early-type stars. Stars are assumed to be in rigid... -
Non-linear limb-darkening law for LTE models. III.
Continuing our studies on stellar atmospheres (Claret, 2000, Cat. , 2003, Cat. ), we present in this paper the limb-darkening coefficients for the Sloan photometric system. The... -
Limb-darkening coefficients for ubvyUBVRIJHK
Linear and non-linear limb-darkening coefficients for the photometric bands u v b y U B V R I J H K are computed for very low effective temperatures stars. The atmosphere models... -
POLLUX database of synthetic stellar spectra
Synthetic spectra are needed to determine fundamental stellar and wind parameters of all types of stars. They are also used for the construction of theoretical spectral... -
(MgAl2O4)n and (CaAl2O4)n, n=1-7 clusters data
Spinel (MgAl_2_O_4_) and krotite (CaAl_2_O_4_) are alternative candidates to alumina (Al_2_O_3_) as primary dust condensates in the atmospheres of oxygen-rich evolved stars.... -
Spectral models for binary products
Stars stripped of their hydrogen-rich envelope through interaction with a binary companion are generally not considered when accounting for ionizing radiation from stellar... -
Exoplanets interior structures & Love numbers
Space missions such as CoRoT and Kepler have made the transit method the most successful technique in observing extrasolar planets. However, although the mean density of a... -
3D non-LTE Balmer line formation
Hydrogen Balmer lines are commonly used as spectroscopic effective temperature diagnostics of late-type stars. However, reliable inferences require accurate model spectra, and...
