Presupernova Evolution with Improved Rates for Weak Interactions
A. Heger, S. E. Woosley, G. Martinez-Pinedo +1
Recent shell-model calculations of weak-interaction rates for nuclei in the mass range A = 45 - 65 have resulted in substantial revisions to the hitherto standard set of Fuller, Fo…
Nucleosynthesis in massive stars revisited
T. Rauscher, A. Heger, R. D. Hoffman +1
We have performed the first calculations to follow the evolution of all stable nuclei and their radioactive progenitors in a finely-zoned stellar model computed from the onset of c…
On the stability of very massive primordial stars
I. Baraffe, A. Heger, S. E. Woosley
The stability of metal-free very massive stars ( = 0; $M = 120 - 500 \msol$) is analyzed and compared with metal-enriched stars. Such zero-metal stars are unstable to nuclear-po…
Pair-Instability Supernovae, Gravity Waves, and Gamma-Ray Transients
C. L. Fryer, S. E. Woosley, A. Heger
Growing theoretical evidence suggests that the first generation of stars may have been quite massive (~100-300 solar masses). If they retain their high mass until death, such stars…
