Rotating massive main-sequence stars - I. Grids of evolutionary models and isochrones
- I. Brott, S. D. Mink, +6 authors J. Vink
- Physics
- 2 February 2011
We present a dense grid of evolutionary tracks and isochrones of rotating massive main-sequence stars. We provide three grids with different initial compositions tailored to compare with early OB… Expand
ON THE MAXIMUM MASS OF STELLAR BLACK HOLES
- K. Belczynski, T. Bulik, +4 authors J. Hurley
- Physics
- 17 April 2009
We present the spectrum of compact object masses: neutron stars and black holes (BHs) that originate from single stars in different environments. In particular, we calculate the dependence of maximum… Expand
The empirical metallicity dependence of the mass-loss rate of O- and early B-type stars
- M. R. Mokiem, A. D. Koter, +9 authors M. R. Villamariz
- Physics
- 15 August 2007
We present a comprehensive study of the observational dependence of the mass-loss rate in stationary stellar winds of hot massive stars on the metal content of their atmospheres. The metal content of… Expand
Mass loss from hot massive stars
- J. Puls, J. Vink, F. Najarro
- Physics
- 4 November 2008
Mass loss is a key process in the evolution of massive stars, and must be understood quantitatively if it is to be successfully included in broader astrophysical applications such as galactic and… Expand
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. VIII. Multiplicity properties of the O-type star population
- H. Sana, A. D. Koter, +14 authors J. Vink
- Physics
- 20 September 2012
Context. The Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud is our closest view of a starburst region and is the ideal environment to investigate important questions regarding the formation,… Expand
Sub-surface convection zones in hot massive stars and their observable consequences
- M. Cantiello, N. Langer, +6 authors S.-C. Yoon
- Physics
- 11 March 2009
Context. We study the convection zones in the outer envelope of hot massive stars which are caused by opacity peaks associated with iron and helium ionization. Aims. We determine the occurrence and… Expand
The Eddington factor as the key to understand the winds of the most massive stars. Evidence for a Γ-dependence of Wolf-Rayet type mass loss
- G. Grafener, J. Vink, A. D. Koter, N. Langer
- Physics
- 27 June 2011
Context. The most massive stars are thought to be hydrogen-rich Wolf-Rayet stars of late spectral subtype (in the following WNh stars). The emission-line spectra of these stars are indicative of… Expand
The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars: wind properties and evolution of hot massive stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
- M. R. Mokiem, A. D. Koter, +9 authors J. Vink
- Physics
- 1 April 2007
We have studied the optical spectra of a sample of 28 O- and early B-type stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, 22 of which are associated with the young star forming region N11. Our observations… Expand
Wind modelling of very massive stars up to 300 solar masses
- J. Vink, L. Muijres, B. Anthonisse, A. D. Koter, G. Gräfener, N. Langer
- Physics
- 3 May 2011
The stellar upper-mass limit is highly uncertain. Some studies have claimed there is a universal upper limit of ∼150 M� . A factor that is often overlooked is that there might be a significant… Expand
The VST Photometric Hα Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS
- J. Drew, E. Gonzalez-Solares, +32 authors A. Zijlstra
- Physics
- 27 February 2014
The VST Photometric HSurvey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+) is surveying the southern Milky Way in u,g,r,i and Hat �1 arcsec angular resolution. Its footprint spans the Galactic… Expand
