Mass loss from OB-stars
We review recent developments regarding radiation driven mass loss from OB-stars. We first summarize the fundamental theoretical predictions, and then compare these to observational results (including the VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars). Especially we focus on the mass loss-metallicity dependence and on the so-called bi-stability jump. Subsequently we concentrate on two urgent problems, wea...
متن کاملConstraints on mass loss from dMe stars: theory and observations
We show that the flux distribution of a wind from a cool star differs considerably from what is predicted by the theory for mass loss from hot stars. The differences are caused by the facts that 1) themass loss rates are lower, resulting in smaller optical depths in the wind, and 2) for winds from cool stars the temperature of thewind is higher than the temperature of the star while for winds f...
متن کاملMass Loss from Stars and the Evolution of Stellar Clusters
New NTT/SOFI near-IR narrow-band imaging and spectroscopy reveals an additional four Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in the massive cluster Westerlund 1, bringing the total WR population to 24. Sixteen of the WR stars in Wd1 have been classified WN5–11, while eight are WC8–9. An observed WR to RSG/YHG ratio of ∼3 suggests an age of 4.5–5.0 Myr, with WR stars descended from 40–55M⊙ progenitors. On the bas...
متن کاملChemical abundances of β Cephei stars from low - and high - resolution UV spectra
We determined stellar parameters (Teff , [m/H], θ) and E(B− V ) for all β Cephei stars observed during the IUE satellite mission. All parameters were derived by using an algorithmic procedure of fitting theoretical flux distribution (Kurucz 1996) to the IUE observations.
متن کاملMass Spectra from Turbulent Fragmentation
Turbulent fragmentation determines where and when protostellar cores form, and how they contract and grow in mass from the surrounding cloud material. This process is investigated, using numerical models of molecular cloud dynamics. Molecular cloud regions without turbulent driving sources, or where turbulence is driven on large scales, exhibit rapid and efficient star formation in a clustered ...
