Fates of the oldest intermediate-mass stars - Primordial to Extremely Metal-Poor AGB and Super-AGB Stars: White Dwarf or Supernova progenitors
Pilar Gil-Pons, Carolyn L. Doherty, Jordi L. Gutiérrez +4
Abridged: Getting a better understanding of the evolution and nucleosynthetic yields of the most metal-poor stars (appr. Z<=10^-5) is critical because they are part of the big pict…
On the IMF in a Triggered Star Formation Context
Tingtao Zhou, Chelsea X. Huang, D. N. C. Lin +2
The origin of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a fundamental issue in the theory of star formation. It is generally fit with a composite power law. Some clues on the prog…
Super and massive AGB stars - IV. Final fates - Initial to final mass relation
Carolyn L. Doherty, Pilar Gil-Pons, Lionel Siess +2
We explore the final fates of massive intermediate-mass stars by computing detailed stellar models from the zero age main sequence until near the end of the thermally pulsing phase…
Numerical Tests of Rotational Mixing in Massive Stars with the new Population Synthesis Code BONNFIRES
Herbert H. B. Lau, Robert G. Izzard, Fabian R. N. Schneider
We use our new population synthesis code BONNFIRES to test how surface abundances predicted by rotating stellar models depend on the numerical treatment of rotational mixing, such…
BONNSAI: a Bayesian tool for comparing stars with stellar evolution models
Fabian R. N. Schneider, Norbert Langer, Alex de Koter +3
Powerful telescopes equipped with multi-fibre or integral field spectrographs combined with detailed models of stellar atmospheres and automated fitting techniques allow for the an…
HV2112, a Thorne-Zytkow Object or a Super Asymptotic Giant Branch Star
Christopher A. Tout, Anna N. Zytkow, Ross P. Church +1
The very bright red star HV2112 in the Small Magellanic Cloud could be a massive Thorne-Zytkow Object, a supergiant-like star with a degenerate neutron core. With its luminosity of…
