    • Boron depletion in 9 to 15 M(circle dot) stars with rotation 

      Frischknecht, U.; Hirschi, R.; Meynet, G.; Ekstroem, S.; Georgy, C.; Rauscher, T.; Winteler, C.; Thielemann, F-K. (Cambridge University Press, 2010)
      The treatment of mixing is still one of the major uncertainties in stellar evolution models. One open question is how well the prescriptions for rotational mixing describe the real effects. We tested the mixing prescriptions ...

    • Constraints on rotational mixing from surface evolution of light elements in massive stars 

      Frischknecht, U.; Hirschi, R.; Meynet, G.; Ekstroem, S.; Georgy, C.; Rauscher, T.; Winteler, C.; Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl (2010-11)
      Context. Light elements and nitrogen surface abundances together can constrain the mixing efficiencies in massive stars on the main sequence, because moderate mixing in the surface layers leads to depletion of light elements ...
