Modeling Massive Stars with Rotation: the Case of Nitrogen Enrichments
A. Maeder, G. Meynet, S. Ekstrom +1
Recently, the concept of rotational mixing has been challenged by some authors (e.g. Hunter et al. 2008). We show that the excess N/H is a multivariate function f(M, age, v, sin i,…
Convective envelopes in rotating OB stars
André Maeder, Cyril Georgy, Georges Meynet
We study the effects of rotation on the outer convective zones of massive stars. We examine the effects of rotation on the thermal gradient and on the Solberg--Hoiland term by anal…
SPINSTARS at low metallicities
G. Meynet, S. Ekstrom, A. Maeder +3
The main effect of axial rotation on the evolution of massive PopIII stars is to trigger internal mixing processes which allow stars to produce significant amounts of primary nitro…
Can very massive stars avoid Pair-instability Supernovae?
S. Ekström, G. Meynet, A. Maeder
Very massive primordial stars () are supposed to end their lives as pair-instability supernovae. Such an event can be traced by a typical chemica…
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…
