Stellar Evolution in AGN Disks

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are powered by geometrically thin accretion disks surrounding a central supermassive black hole. Here we explore the evolution of stars embedded in these extreme astrophysical environments (AGN stars). Because AGN disks are much hotter and denser than most components of...
