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…
