Stellar wind yields of very massive stars (2023)
Journal Article
Higgins, E. R., Vink, J. S., Hirschi, R., Laird, A. M., & Sabhahit, G. N. (in press). Stellar wind yields of very massive stars. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 526(1), 534–547. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad2537

The most massive stars provide an essential source of recycled material for young clusters and galaxies. While very massive stars (VMS, M>100 $\rm {\rm M}_{\odot }$) are relatively rare compared to O stars, they lose disproportionately large a...

Turbulence and nuclear reactions in 3D hydrodynamics simulations of massive stars (2023)
Journal Article
Rizzuti, F., Hirschi, R., Georgy, C., Arnett, D., Meakin, C., & Murphy, A. (2023). Turbulence and nuclear reactions in 3D hydrodynamics simulations of massive stars. EPJ Web of Conferences, 279, 05001. https://doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/202327905001

Our knowledge of massive star evolution and nucleosynthesis is limited by uncertainties related to multi-dimensional processes taking place in stellar interiors. Recently, theoretical works have started to improve 1D stellar evolution codes through t... Read More about Turbulence and nuclear reactions in 3D hydrodynamics simulations of massive stars.
