Developments in physics of massive stars (2007)
Conference Proceeding
Meynet, G., Ekström, S., Maeder, A., Hirschi, R., Georgy, C., & Beffa, C. (2007). Developments in physics of massive stars. . https://doi.org/10.1017/S1743921308020449

New constraints on stellar models are provided by large surveys of massive stars, interferometric observations and asteroseismology. After a review of the main results so far obtained, we present new results from rotating models and discuss compariso... Read More about Developments in physics of massive stars.

Stellar Evolution at Low Metallicity (2007)
Journal Article
Hirschi, R., Chiappini, C., Meynet, G., Maeder, A., & Ekstrom, S. (2007). Stellar Evolution at Low Metallicity. Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 3(S250), https://doi.org/10.1017/S1743921308020528

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 metall... Read More about Stellar Evolution at Low Metallicity.

Mass loss and very low-metallicity stars (2007)
Journal Article
Hirschi, R., Chiappini, C., Meynet, G., Ekstrom, S., & Maeder, A. (2007). Mass loss and very low-metallicity stars. AIP conference proceedings, 948, 397–404. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2818999

Mass loss plays a dominant role in the evolution of massive stars at solar metallicity. After discussing different mass loss mechanisms and their metallicity dependence, we present the possibility of strong mass loss at very low metallicity. Our mode...

GRB progenitors at low metallicities (2007)
Journal Article

We calculated pre-supernova evolution models of single rotating massive stars. These models reproduce observations during the early stages of the evolution very well, in particular Wolf--Rayet (WR) populations and ratio between type II and type Ib,c...
