Massive zero-metal stars: Energy production and mixing
Time-dependent nuclear network calculations at constant temperature show that for zero-metal stars & 20M⊙ (i) β-decay reactions and (ii) the N(p,γ)O reaction must be included. It is also shown that the nuclear timescale in these zero-metal stars is shorter than the mixing timescale and therefore the assumption of instantaneous mixing across convective regions is not fulfilled. We conclude that ...
متن کاملThe Chemical Yields Produced by Zero Metal Massive Stars
In this review we compare the three existing sets of theoretical yields of zero metal massive stars available in the literature. We also show how each of these three different sets of yields fits the element abundance ratios observed in the extremely metal poor star CD 38 245. We find that, at present, no theoretical set of yields of zero metal massive stars is able to satisfactorily reproduce ...
متن کاملMassive stars and high-energy neutrinos
Massive stars have been associated with the production of high-energy neutrinos since the early claims of detection of very high-energy gamma rays from Cygnus X-3 in the 1970s and early 1980s. Although such claims are now discredited, many thoretical models were developed predicting significant neutrino fluxes from binary systems with massive stars. With the discovery of microquasars, new, impr...
متن کاملEnergy production in stars.
where M= 1.99.1033 g is the sun’s mass, R= 6.g6.10’0 cm its radius, and G= 6.6710 the gravitational constant. A similar energy was set free when the sun was assembled from interstellar gas or dust in the dim past; actually somewhat more, because most of the sun’s material is located closer to its center, and therefore has a numerically larger potential energy. One-half of the energy set free is...
متن کاملNucleosynthesis and Evolution of Massive Metal-free Stars
The evolution and explosion of metal-free stars with masses 10 − 100M⊙ are followed, and their nucleosynthetic yields, light curves, and remnant masses determined. Such stars would have been the first to form after the Big Bang and may have left a distinctive imprint on the composition of the early universe. When the supernova yields are integrated over a Salpeter initial mass function (IMF), t...
