Papers
The spectroscopic Hertzsprung-Russell diagram of Galactic massive stars
Nuno Filipe Castro,Luca Fossati,Norbert Langer,Sergio Simón-Díaz,Sergio Simón-Díaz,Fabian Schneider,Robert G. Izzard +6 more
TL;DR: The distribution of stars in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram narrates their evolutionary history and directly assesses their properties as mentioned in this paper, which is independent of distance and extinction measurements.
Searching for links between magnetic fields and stellar evolution. II. The evolution of magnetic fields as revealed by observations of Ap stars in open clusters and associations
John D. Landstreet,Stefano Bagnulo,Stefano Bagnulo,Vincenzo Andretta,Luca Fossati,Elena Mason,J. Silaj,Gregg A. Wade +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a large survey of magnetic fields in cluster Ap stars with the goal of obtaining a sample of these stars with well-determined ages, and derived new bolometric corrections for Ap stars.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL GAS DYNAMIC SIMULATION OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE EXOPLANET WASP-12b AND ITS HOST STAR
TL;DR: In this article, pure 3D gas dynamic simulations of the plasma interaction between WASP-12b and its host star and describe the flow pattern in the system, showing that the overfilling of the planet's Roche lobe leads to a noticeable outflow from the upper atmosphere in the direction of the and points.

Rejuvenation of stellar mergers and the origin of magnetic fields in massive stars
TL;DR: In this paper, the rejuvenation of OBA main-sequence (MS) and pre-MS stars is predicted using smoothed-particle-hydrodynamical merger models.

3D Gas Dynamic Simulation of the Interaction Between the Exoplanet WASP-12b and Its Host Star
TL;DR: In this article, pure 3D gas dynamic simulations of the plasma interaction between WASP-12b and its host star were performed, and the flow pattern in the system was described, showing that the overfilling of the planet's Roche lobe leads to a noticeable outflow from the upper atmosphere in the direction of the L1 and L2 points.
