Rotating massive stars: Pre-SN models and stellar yields at solar metallicity

R. Hirschi, G. Meynet, A. Maeder

We present a new set of stellar yields obtained from rotating stellar models at solar metallicity covering the massive star range (9-120 solar masses). The stellar models were calc…

Rotation and Mixing in Massive Stars: Principles and Uncertainties

Georges Meynet, Andre Maeder

The main instabilities induced by rotation in stellar interiors are described. We derive from first principles the general equation describing the transport of the angular momentum…

Effects of Rotation on Presupernovae Models

Georges Meynet, Raphael Hirschi, André Maeder

We show that rotation strongly affects the nature of the supernova progenitor (blue/red supergiant or Wolf--Rayet star), and thus the supernova types. In particular our models well…

Evolution at very low and zero Z

Georges Meynet, André Maeder, Sylvia Ekström

Rotation deeply affects the evolution of very metal poor massive stars. Indeed, even moderately rotating stars reach the break--up limit during the Main--Sequence (MS) phase, they…

Nucleosynthesis of 26Al in rotating Wolf-Rayet stars

A. Palacios, G. Meynet, C. Vuissoz

The 26Al radionuclide can be detected through its decay emission line at 1.809 MeV, as was first observed by Mahoney et al. (1982). Since then, COMPTEL on board of the CGRO satelli…

Stellar yields in CNO from rotating stellar models

Georges Meynet, Andre Maeder, Raphael Hirschi

For C and O, rotating models predict in general enhanced yields. At high metallicity, the carbon and oxygen yields from the very high mass stars, which go through a W…
