Stellar Evolution at Low Metallicity
Massive stars played a key role in the early evolution of the Universe. They formed with the first halos and started the re-ionisation. It is therefore very important to understand their evolution. In this review, we first recall the effect of metallicity (Z) on the evolution of massive stars. We then describe the strong impact of rotation induced mixing and mass loss at very low Z. The strong ...
متن کاملEvolution of rotating stars at very low metallicity
At very low metallicity, the effects of differential rotation have a more important impact on the evolution of stars than at high metallicity. Rotational mixing leads to the production of great quantities of helium and of primary N by massive stars. Rotation induces important mass loss and allows stars to locally strongly enrich the interstellar medium in CNO elements. Stars formed from interst...
متن کاملEvolution of Gamma-Ray Burst Progenitors at Low Metallicity
Despite the growing evidence that long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are associated with deaths of Wolf-Rayet stars, the evolutionary path of massive stars to GRBs and the exact nature of GRB progenitors remained poorly known. However, recent massive star evolutionary models indicate that — for sufficiently low metallicity — initially very rapidly rotating stars can satisfy the conditions for collaps...
متن کاملSpectroscopy Of Low Metallicity Giant H II Regions: A grid of low Metallicity Stellar atmospheres
We calculate a grid of spherically symmetric OB stellar atmospheres at low metallicities, including both non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) and metal line blanketing effects. This is done to assess the uncertainties in helium abundance determination by nebular codes due to input stellar atmosphere models. The more sophisticated stellar atmosphere models we use can differ from LTE models...
متن کاملStellar evolution with rotation X: Wolf-Rayet star populations at solar metallicity
We examine the properties of Wolf–Rayet (WR) stars predicted by models of rotating stars taking account of the new mass loss rates for O–type stars and WR stars (Vink et al. 2000, 2001; Nugis & Lamers 2000) and of the wind anisotropies induced by rotation. We find that the rotation velocities v of WR stars are modest, i.e. about 50 km s, not very dependant on the initial v and masses. For the m...
