On the origin of microturbulence in hot stars
M. Cantiello, N. Langer, I. Brott +5
We present results from the first extensive study of convection zones in the envelopes of hot massive stars, which are caused by opacity peaks associated with iron and helium ioniz…
Rotation and massive close binary evolution
N. Langer, M. Cantiello, S. -C. Yoon +5
We review the role of rotation in massive close binary systems. Rotation has been advocated as an essential ingredient in massive single star models. However, rotation clearly is m…
White dwarf spins from low mass stellar evolution models
M. P. L. Suijs, N. Langer, A. -J. Poelarends +3
The prediction of the spins of the compact remnants is a fundamental goal of the theory of stellar evolution. Here, we confront the predictions for white dwarf spins from evolution…
Evolution of massive stars at very low metallicity including rotation and binary interactions
S. -C. Yoon, M. Cantiello, N. Langer
We discuss recent models on the evolution of massive stars at very low metallicity including the effects of rotation, magnetic fields and binarity. Very metal poor stars lose very…
The circumstellar medium around a rapidly rotating, chemically homogeneously evolving, possible gamma-ray burst progenitor
Allard Jan van Marle, Norbert Langer, Sung-Chul Yoon +1
Rapidly rotating, chemically homogeneously evolving massive stars are considered to be progenitors of long gamma-ray bursts. We present numerical simulations of the evolution of th…
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…
