Uncertainties in stellar evolution models: convective overshoot

Alessandro Bressan, Leo Girardi, Paola Marigo, Philip Rosenfield, Jing Tang

Published 2014-09-08Version 1

In spite of the great effort made in the last decades to improve our understanding of stellar evolution, significant uncertainties remain due to our poor knowledge of some complex physical processes that require an empirical calibration, such as the efficiency of the interior mixing related to convective overshoot. Here we review the impact of convective overshoot on the evolution of stars during the main Hydrogen and Helium burning phases.
