Updated High-temperature Opacities for the Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Program and Their Effect on the Jao Gap Location

The Jao Gap, a 17% decrease in stellar density at M _G ∼ 10 identified in both Gaia Data Release 2 and Early Data Release 3, presents a new method to probe the interior structure of stars near the fully convective transition mass. The Gap is believed to originate from convective-kissing instability...
