The evolutionary roads leading to low effective spins, high black hole masses, and O1/O2 rates of LIGO/Virgo binary black holes
K. Belczynski, J. Klencki, C. E. Fields +31
All ten LIGO/Virgo binary black hole (BH-BH) coalescences reported from the O1/O2 runs have near zero effective spins. There are only three potential explanations of this fact. If…

Chemical Abundances and Yields from Massive Stars
André Maeder, Georges Meynet, Raphael Hirschi
Stellar rotation produces an internal mixing of the elements due to shear instability and meridional circulation. This leads to observable enhancements in massive stars above…

Evolution of the Most Massive Stars
André Maeder, Georges Meynet, Raphael Hirschi
We discuss the physics of the -- Limit, i.e. when the star is unbound as a result of {\emph{both}} rotation and radiation pressure. We suggest that the -- Limit is what mak…
