Effects of Metallicity on the Rotational Velocities of Massive Stars
Effects of Metallicity on the Rotational Velocities of Massive Stars
Recent theoretical predictions for low metallicity massive stars predict that these stars should have drastically reduced equatorial winds (mass loss) while on the main sequence, and as such should retain most of their angular momentum. Observations of both the Be/(B+Be) ratio and the blue-to-red supergiant ratio appear to have a …
