The fate of rotating massive stars across cosmic times

R. Hirschi, K. Goodman, G. Meynet +9

The initial mass and metallicity of stars both have a strong impact on their fate. Stellar axial rotation also has a strong impact on the structure and evolution of massive stars.…

The chemical yields of stars in the range 9-15 Msun

Marco Limongi, Lorenzo Roberti, Agnese Falla +2

In Limongi et al. (2024) we presented and discussed the main evolutionary properties and final fate of stars in the mass range 7-15 Msun. The evolutions of those models were comput…

Evolution and final fate of solar metallicity stars in the mass range 7-15 Msun. I. The transition from AGB to SAGB stars, Electron Capture and Core Collapse Supernovae progenitors

Marco Limongi, Lorenzo Roberti, Alessandro Chieffi +1

According to a standard initial mass function, stars in the range 7-12 Msun constitute ~50% (by number) of the stars more massive than ~7 Msun, but, in spite of this, their evoluti…

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…

Early Black Hole Formation by Accretion of Gas and Dark Matter

Hideyuki Umeda, Naoki Yoshida, Ken Nomoto +3

We propose a model in which intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) with mass of ~10000 Msun are formed in early dark matter halos. We carry out detailed stellar evolution calculatio…
