The Maximum Black Hole Mass at Solar Metallicity
Jorick S. Vink, Gautham N. Sabhahit, Erin R. Higgins
We analyse the current knowledge and uncertainties in detailed stellar evolution and wind modelling to evaluate the mass of the most massive stellar black hole (BH) at solar metall…
New Wolf-Rayet wind yields and nucleosynthesis of Helium stars
Erin R. Higgins, Jorick S. Vink, Raphael Hirschi +2
Strong metallicity-dependent winds dominate the evolution of core He-burning, classical Wolf-Rayet (cWR) stars, which eject both H and He-fusion products such as 14N, 12C, 16O, 19F…
Predicting the Heaviest Black Holes below the Pair Instability Gap
Ethan R. J. Winch, Jorick S. Vink, Erin R. Higgins +1
Traditionally, the pair instability (PI) mass gap is located between 50\,and 130\,, with stellar mass black holes (BHs) expected to "pile up" towards the lower PI edge.…
