Stellar age determination in the Mass-Luminosity Plane
Erin R. Higgins, Jorick S. Vink
The ages of stars have historically relied on isochrone fitting of standardised grids of models. While these stellar models have provided key constraints on observational samples o…
The hydrogen clock to infer the upper stellar mass
Erin R. Higgins, Jorick S. Vink, Gautham N. Sabhahit +1
The most massive stars dominate the chemical enrichment, mechanical and radiative feedback, and energy budget of their host environments. Yet how massive stars initially form and h…
Mass-loss implementation and temperature evolution of very massive stars
Gautham N. Sabhahit, Jorick S. Vink, Erin R. Higgins +1
Very massive stars (VMS) dominate the physics of young clusters due to their ionising radiation and extreme stellar winds. It is these winds that determine their lifepaths until ex…
The Link between Hot and Cool Outflows
Jorick S. Vink, A. A. C. Sander, E. R. Higgins +1
The link between hot and cool stellar outflows is shown to be critical for correctly predicting the masses of the most massive black holes (BHs) below the so-called pair-instabilit…
The origin and impact of Wolf-Rayet-type mass loss
Andreas A. C. Sander, Jorick S. Vink, Erin R. Higgins +3
Classical Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars mark an important stage in the late evolution of massive stars. As hydrogen-poor massive stars, these objects have lost their outer layers, while st…
