Mass-loss predictions for O and B stars as a function of metallicity

TL;DR: In this paper, a grid of massive star wind models and mass-loss rates for a wide range of metal abundances between 1=100 Z=Z 10 was calculated and the mass loss rate was shown to be constant in the range between 1/30 Z =Z 3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mass-loss predictions for O and B stars as a function of metallicity

TL;DR: In this paper, a grid of massive star wind models and mass-loss rates for a wide range of metal abundances between 1/100 and 10 Z/Zsun was calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rotating Massive Main-Sequence Stars I: Grids of Evolutionary Models and Isochrones

TL;DR: In this article, a dense grid of evolutionary tracks and isochrones of rotating massive main-sequence stars is presented to compare with early OB stars in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds and in the Galaxy.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the maximum mass of stellar black holes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the spectrum of compact object masses: neutron stars and black holes (BHs) that originate from single stars in different environments and calculate the dependence of maximum BH mass on metallicity and on some specific wind mass loss rates.
