Mass loss and supernova progenitors
John Eldridge
We first discuss the mass range of type IIP SN progenitors and how the upper and lower limits impose interesting constraints on stellar evolution. Then we discuss the possible impl…
Mass loss predictions for hot stars
Jorick S. Vink
I present the results of radiation-driven mass-loss predictions for hot stars of all mass. Mass loss is an important aspect for the evolution of massive stars, the rotational prope…
Forecasting Seismic Signatures of Stellar Magnetic Activity
W. A. Dziembowski
For the Sun, a tight correlation between various activity measures and oscillation frequencies is well documented. For other stars, we have abundant data on magnetic activity and i…
Mass loss and very low-metallicity stars
Raphael Hirschi, Cristina Chiappini, Georges Meynet +2
Mass loss plays a dominant role in the evolution of massive stars at solar metallicity. After discussing different mass loss mechanisms and their metallicity dependence, we present…
Confinement of the Sun's interior magnetic field: some exact boundary-layer solutions
T. S. Wood, M. E. McIntyre
High-latitude laminar confinement of the Sun's interior magnetic field is shown to be possible, as originally proposed by Gough and McIntyre (1998) but contrary to a recent claim b…
Long GRBs from binary stars: runaway, Wolf-Rayet progenitors
M. Cantiello, S. -C. Yoon, N. Langer +1
The collapsar model for long gamma-ray bursts requires a rapidly rotating Wolf-Rayet star as progenitor. We test the idea of producing rapidly rotating Wolf-Rayet stars in massive…
