Can very massive stars avoid Pair-instability Supernovae ?
Very massive primordial stars (140 M < M < 260 M ) are supposed to end their lives as pair-instability supernovae. Such an event can be traced by a typical chemical signature in low metallicity stars, but at the present time, this signature is lacking in the extremely metal-poor stars we are able to observe. Does it mean that those very massive objects did not form, contrarily to the primordial...
متن کاملNew very massive stars in Cygnus OB2
Context. The compact association Cygnus OB2 is known to contain a large population of massive stars, but its total mass is currently a matter of debate. While recent surveys have uncovered large numbers of OB stars in the area around Cyg OB2, detailed study of the optically brightest among them suggests that most are not part of the association. Aims. We observed an additional sample of optical...

متن کاملEvolution and Nucleosynthesis of Very Massive Primordial Stars
We investigate the evolution, final fate, and nucleosynthetic yields of rotating and non-rotating very massive stars (VMS) of zero metallicity. First we address the issue of mass loss during hydrogen burning due to vibrational instabilities. We find that these objects are much more stable than what was found in previous studies of VMS of solar composition, and expect only negligible mass loss d...
متن کاملDid Very Massive Stars Pre–enrich and Reionize the Universe?
Recent studies of heavy r–process elements in low [Fe/H] halo stars have suggested that an initial population of metal-free very massive stars (VMSs) may be required to provide early Fe enrichment without coproducing heavy r nuclei. We find similar abundance trends in α–elements (which should be copiously produced by VMSs), but not in other elements such as carbon (which should not), in agreeme...
