On the origin of the rotation of massive stars
André Oliva, Facundo D. Moyano, Luca Sciarini +3
We explore the origin of the rotation rates of massive stars. Contrary to their low-mass siblings, most massive stars do not have detectable magnetic fields, so that star-disk inte…
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.…
Impact of the Tayler magnetic instability on the surface abundance of boron in massive stars
L. Asatiani, P. Eggenberger, M. Marchand +3
Context: The surface abundances of massive stars show evidence of internal mixing, while asteroseismic data suggest that efficient angular momentum (AM) transport occurs in stellar…
The advanced evolution of massive stars: I. New reaction rates for carbon and oxygen nuclear reactions
T. Dumont, A. Bonhomme, A. Griffiths +9
The nuclear rates for reactions involving 12C and 16O are key to compute the energy release and nucleosynthesis of massive stars during their evolution. These rates shape the stell…
Unlocking the mystery of Sr synthesis in the early Galaxy through analysis of barium isotopes in very metal-poor stars
T. M. Sitnova, L. Lombardo, L. I. Mashonkina +8
We determine the contributions of the rapid (r) and slow (s) neutron capture processes to the Ba isotope mixture, along with Ba, Eu, and Sr NLTE abundances, in a sample of very met…
Stable Case BB/BC Mass Transfer to Form GW190425-like Massive Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Ying Qin, Jin-Ping Zhu, Georges Meynet +14
On April 25th, 2019, the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration discovered a Gravitational-wave (GW) signal from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger, i.e., GW190425. Due to the inferred large tot…
The spin of the second-born black hole in coalescing binary black holes
Y. Qin, T. Fragos, G. Meynet +3
Various binary black hole formation channels have been proposed since the first gravitational event GW150914 was discovered by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave…
Mass and angular momentum loss via decretion disks
J. Krticka, S. P. Owocki, G. Meynet
We examine the nature and role of mass loss via an equatorial decretion disk in massive stars with near-critical rotation induced by evolution of the stellar interior. In contrast…
