| Abstract: |
We present our ongoing efforts into producing a completely new and
modern implementation of an evolutionary code geared specifically toward
stellar seismology and spectral/chemical evolution. A specificity of our
code is that evolutionary computations are producing complete models of
stars: down from the core up to, and including, the
atmosphere. Sophisticated transport mechanisms are included:
time-dependent convection, overshooting, semi-convection,
thermohaline mixing, gravitational settling, simultaneous multi-element
diffusion, thermal and turbulent diffusion, winds and accretion
events. Radiative support of elements is currently under
implementation. As an illustrative example, we present a white dwarf
evolutionary track showing spectral type transformation. |
