The Impact of Initial Mass Dependent Convective Boundary Mixing on the Structure and Fates of Massive Stars
Emily E. Whitehead, Raphael Hirschi, Vishnu Varma +4
While convection has been known to play a key role in stars for many decades, its implementation in one-dimensional stellar evolution codes still represents a major uncertainty tod…
3D Synthetic Convective Velocity Fields to Initialise Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations from 1D Progenitors
Vishnu Varma, Bernhard Mueller, Raphael Hirschi
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are among the most energetic and complex astrophysical phenomena, requiring threedimensional (3D) simulations to capture their intricate explosion…
The fate of rotating massive stars across cosmic times
R. Hirschi, K. Goodman, G. Meynet +9
The initial mass and metallicity of stars both have a strong impact on their fate. Stellar axial rotation also has a strong impact on the structure and evolution of massive stars.…
Discovery of a new transitional type of evolved massive stars with hard ionizing flux
Andreas A. C. Sander, Roel R. Lefever, Joris Josiek +12
Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are the evolved descendants of the most massive stars and show emission-line dominated spectra formed in their powerful stellar winds. Marking the final evolu…
