Sub-surface convection zones in hot massive stars and their observable consequences
M. Cantiello, N. Langer, I. Brott +6
We study the convection zones in the outer envelope of hot massive stars which are caused by opacity peaks associated with iron and helium ionization. We determine the occurrence a…

Rotational mixing in massive binaries: detached short-period systems
S. E. de Mink, M. Cantiello, N. Langer +3
Models of rotating single stars can successfully account for a wide variety of observed stellar phenomena, such as the surface enhancements of N and He. However, recent observation…

The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars: constraints on stellar evolution from the chemical compositions of rapidly rotating Galactic and Magellanic Cloud B-type stars
I. Hunter, I. Brott, N. Langer +8
We have previously analysed the spectra of 135 early B-type stars in the LMC and found several groups of stars that have chemical compositions that conflict with the theory of rota…
