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 کاملMass loss of rotating stars at very low metallicity
Some indirect observations, as the high fraction of Be stars†at low metallicity, or the necessity for massive stars to be important sources of primary nitrogen, seem to indicate that very metal poor stars were fast rotators. As a consequence of this fast rotation, these stars, contrarily to current wisdom, might lose large amounts of mass during their lifetime. In this paper, we review various ...
متن کاملMass loss and very low-metallicity stars
Mass loss plays a dominant role in the evolution of massive stars at solar metallicity. After discussing different mass loss mechanisms and their metallicity dependence, we present the possibility of strong mass loss at very low metallicity. Our models at Z = 10−8 show that stars more massive than about 60 M⊙ may lose a significant fraction of their initial mass in the red supergiant phase. Thi...
متن کاملMass loss predictions for hot stars
I present the results of radiation-driven mass-loss predictions for hot stars of all mass. Mass loss is an important aspect for the evolution of massive stars, the rotational properties of the progenitors of gamma-ray bursts, and is essential in assessing whether the most massive stars explode as pair-instability supernovae, or avoid them due to mass loss. As a result, the rate of mass loss is ...
متن کاملMass loss predictions for Subdwarf B stars
We present the results of Monte Carlo mass-loss computations for hot low-mass stars, specifically for Subdwarf B (SdB) stars. It is shown that the massloss rates on the Horizontal Branch (HB) computed from radiative line-driven wind models are not high enough to create SdB stars. We argue, however, that mass loss plays a role in the chemical abundance patterns observed both in field SdB stars, ...
