New high resolution synthetic stellar libraries for the Gaia Mission
R. Sordo, A. Vallenari, J. C. Bouret +12
High resolution synthetic stellar libraries are of fundamental importance for the preparation of the Gaia Mission. We present new sets of spectral stellar libraries covering two sp…
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…
Rotational Mixing in Magellanic Clouds B Stars - Theory versus Observation
I. Brott, I. Hunter, A. de Koter +3
We have used VLT FLAMES data to constrain the uncertain physics of rotational mixing in stellar evolution models. We have simulated a population of single stars and find two groups…
Rotational mixing in close binaries
S. E. de Mink, M. Cantiello, N. Langer +5
Rotational mixing is a very important but uncertain process in the evolution of massive stars. We propose to use close binaries to test its efficiency. Based on rotating single ste…
The VLT-FLAMES Survey of Massive Stars
C. J. Evans, I. Hunter, S. J. Smartt +12
The VLT-FLAMES Survey of Massive Stars was an ESO Large Programme to understand rotational mixing and stellar mass-loss in different metallicity environments, in order to better co…
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…
