Embryo to Ashes - A new stellar evolution code for calculating complete evolutionary tracks
I will present our new stellar evolution code and a representative set of results and applications, demonstrating its capability at calculating full evolutionary tracks for a wide range of masses and metallicities. The code is fast and efficient, and is capable of following through all evolutionary phases, without interruption or human intervention. It is meant to be used also in the context of modeling the evolution of dense stellar systems, for performing live calculations for both normal star models and merger-products.
