In this work, we investigate the impact of uncertainties due to convective boundary mixing (CBM), commonly called `overshoot, namely the boundary location and the amount of mixing at the convective boundary, on stellar structure and evolution. For this we calculated two grids of stellar evolution models with the MESA code, each with the Ledoux and the Schwarzschild boundary criterion, and vary the amount of CBM. We calculate each grid with the initial masses $15$, $20$ and $25,rm{M}_odot$. We present the stellar structure of the models during the hydrogen and helium burning phases. In the latter, we examine the impact on the nucleosynthesis. We find a broadening of the main-sequence with more CBM, which is more in agreement with observations. Furthermore during the core hydrogen burning phase there is a convergence of the convective boundary location due to CBM. The uncertainties of the intermediate convective zone remove this convergence. The behaviour of this convective zone strongly affects the surface evolution of the model, i.e. how fast it evolves red-wards. The amount of CBM impacts the size of the convective cores and the nucleosynthesis, e.g. the $^{12}$C to $^{16}$O ratio and the weak s-process. Lastly, we determine the uncertainty that the range of parameter values investigated introduce and we find differences of up to $70%$ for the core masses and the total mass of the star.
Convection plays a key role in the evolution of stars due to energy transport and mixing of composition. Despite its importance, this process is still not well understood. One longstanding conundrum in all 1D stellar evolution codes is the treatment
We find significant fluctuations of angular momentum within the convective helium shell of a pre-collapse massive star - a core-collapse supernova progenitor - which may facilitate the formation of accretion disks and jets that can explode the star.
The convection that takes place in the innermost shells of massive stars plays an important role in the formation of core-collapse supernova explosions. Upon encountering the supernova shock, additional turbulence is generated, amplifying the explosi
In the era of advanced electromagnetic and gravitational wave detectors, it has become increasingly important to effectively combine and study the impact of stellar evolution on binaries and dynamical systems of stars. Systematic studies dedicated to
Spectroscopic studies of Galactic O and B stars show that many stars with masses above 8 M$_{odot}$ are observed in the HR diagram just beyond the Main-Sequence (MS) band predicted by stellar models computed with a moderate overshooting. This may be
