The Stellar Winds Atlas II: Black Hole Formation at Solar Metallicity

Amedeo Romagnolo, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Alex C. Gormaz-Matamala +7

Stellar winds are a primary source of uncertainty in predicting the masses of black holes (BHs) from massive stars. At solar metallicity, theoretical models lead to widely divergen…

On the maximum black hole mass at solar metallicity

Amedeo Romagnolo, Alex C. Gormaz-Matamala, Krzysztof Belczynski

In high metallicity environments the mass that black holes (BHs) can reach just after core-collapse widely depends on how much mass their progenitor stars lose via winds. On one ha…
