Single massive stars at the critical rotational velocity: possible links with Be and B[e] stars
Using single star models including the effects of shellular rotation with and without magnetic fields, we show that massive stars at solar metallicity with initial masses lower than about 20-25 M⊙ and with an initial rotation above ∼ 350 km s likely reach the critical velocity during their Main-Sequence phase. This results from the efficient outwards transport of angular momentum by the meridio...
متن کاملCrystallinity versus mass-loss rate in Asymptotic Giant Branch stars
Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) observations have shown that O-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars exhibit crystalline silicate features in their spectra only if their mass-loss rate is higher than a certain threshold value. Usually, this is interpreted as evidence that crystalline silicates are not present in the dust shells of low mass-loss rate objects. In this study, radiative transfe...
متن کاملThe rotational velocity of low-mass stars in the Pleiades cluster
We present new v sin i measurements for 235 lowmass stars in the Pleiades. The differential rotational broadening has been resolved for all the stars in our sample. These results, combined with previously published measurements, provide a complete and unbiased rotation data set for stars in the mass range from 0.6 to 1.2M . Applying a numerical inversion technique on the v sin i distributions, ...
متن کاملThe rotational evolution of low-mass stars
We summarise recent progress in the understanding of the rotational evolution of low-mass stars (here defined as solar mass down to the hydrogen burning limit) both in terms of observations and modelling. Wide-field imaging surveys on moderate-size telescopes can now efficiently derive rotation periods for hundreds to thousands of open cluster members, providing unprecedented sample sizes which...
متن کاملMass 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...
