Rotating models for evolved low-mass stars
Low mass stars (< 2-2.5M⊙) exhibit, at all the stages of their evolution, signatures of processes that require challenging modeling beyond the standard stellar theory. In this paper we focus on their peculiarities while they climb the red giant branch (RGB). We first compare the classical predictions for abundance variations due to the first dredge-up with observational data in various environm...
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 کاملTheoretical models of low-mass, pre-main sequence rotating stars I. The effects on lithium depletion
Rotating stellar models of 1.2 M down to 0.6 M have been computed to investigate the effects of rotation on the lithium depletion of low-mass, pre-main sequence stars. The models were generated under three different rotation laws (rigid body rotation, local conservation of angular momentum over the whole star, and local conservation of angular momentum in radiative zones and rigid body rotation...
متن کاملCNO in evolved intermediate mass stars ⋆
In order to investigate the possible influence of rotation on the efficiency of the first dredge-up we determined atmospheric parameters, masses, and abundances of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in a sample of evolved intermediate mass stars. We used high resolution spectra and conducted a model atmosphere analysis. The abundances were calculated through spectral synthesis and compared to the pre...
متن کاملRelativistic Superfluid Models for Rotating Neutron Stars
This article starts by providing an introductory overview of the theoretical mechanics of rotating neutron stars as developped to account for the frequency variations, and particularly the discontinuous glitches, observed in pulsars. The theory suggests, and the observations seem to confirm, that an essential role is played by the interaction between the solid crust and inner layers whose super...
