Instabilities in massive stars
A defining property of massive stars is the dominant, dynamical role played by radiation throughout the stellar interior, atmosphere, and wind. Associated with this radiation hydrodynamics are several distinct kinds of instabilities that can lead to convection in both core and envelope, clumping in atmosphere and wind outflow, and perhaps even the dramatic mass loss outbursts associated with Lu...
متن کاملPulsational Instabilities in Hydrogen-Poor Massive Blue Stars
The structure and pulsational properties of massive stars with helium cores and thin, hydrogen-poor envelopes have been investigated. The core structures are very insensitive to modifications of the hydrogen envelope However, it is found that the total stellar radius and luminosity are modified by the integrated hydrogen content and by the hydrogen gradient, respectively. The models are pulsati...
متن کاملInstabilities of Relativistic Stars
Recent developments on the rotational instabilities of relativistic stars are reviewed. The article provides an account of the theory of stellar instabilities with emphasis on the rotational ones. Special attention is being paid to the study of these instabilities in the general relativistic regime. Issues such as the existence relativistic r-modes, the existence of a continuous spectrum and th...
متن کاملMassive Stars in Transition
We discuss the various post-main sequence phases of massive stars, focusing on Wolf-Rayet stars, Luminous Blue Variables, plus connections with other early-type and late-type supergiants. End states for massive stars are also investigated, emphasising connections between Supernovae originating from core-collapse massive stars and Gamma Ray Bursts.
متن کاملGravonuclear Instabilities in Post-Horizontal-Branch Stars
We investigate the gravonuclear instabilities reported by Bono et al. (1997a,b) during the onset of helium-shell burning at the end of the horizontal-branch (HB) phase. These instabilities are characterized by relaxation oscillations within the helium shell which lead to loops in the evolutionary tracks. We find the occurrence of these instabilities depends critically on how the breathing pulse...
