Fig. 6: Differences in stellar structure between the disk-mediated accretion models and the classical model.

The mass coordinate as a function of the fractional stellar radius. The grey shaded areas mark the extension of the convective core and the overshooting region according to the legend. The salmon shaded area marks the range of mass coordinate differences reached by the 34 disk-mediated models. a Differences in structure at the pre-main sequence stage. Selected models shown are from bottom to top: 31, 33, 2, 34, 13, 6. b Differences in structure at the ZAMS. Selected models shown are from bottom to top: 30, 7, 3, 12, 16, 25. The models in panels a and b have been selected to show the boundaries of the shaded area and to minimise the overlap within the lines. See Supplementary Fig. 38 for a version with all models.
