In this work, the early evolution of low-mass fully convective stars is studied in the context of DHOST theories of gravity, specifically focusing on the modifications to the hydrostatic equilibrium equation and their effects on different evolutionary phases. The Hayashi tracks are found to be shifted and the star's age is significantly modified under the influence of the theory's parameter.
In this work, the early evolution of low-mass fully convective stars is studied in the context of DHOST (degenerate higher order scalar-tensor) theories of gravity. Although it is known that the hydrostatic equilibrium equation is modified for scalar-tensor gravity, the consequent modifications to the early evolution phases of a star were not explored in this framework. With this in mind, we consider three evolutionary phases-contraction to the main sequence, lithium burning and entrance to the main sequence-and investigate how each of these phases is affected by the theory's parameter. Taking these effects into account, we are able to show, among other things, that the Hayashi tracks are shifted and the star's age is considerably modified.
