Modeling the early evolution of massive OB stars with an experimental wind routine
Modeling the early evolution of massive OB stars with an experimental wind routine
Stellar evolution models of massive stars are very sensitive to the adopted mass-loss scheme. The magnitude and evolution of mass-loss rates significantly affect the main sequence evolution, and the properties of post-main sequence objects, including their rotational velocities. Driven by potential discrepancies between theoretically predicted and observationally derived mass-loss rates …
