The Explosion of Helium Stars Evolved with Mass Loss [PDF]
Abstract Light curves, explosion energies, and remnant masses are calculated for a grid of supernovae resulting from massive helium stars that have been evolved including mass loss. These presupernova stars should approximate the results of binary evolution for stars in interacting systems that lose their envelopes close to the time of ...

Physics of Mass Loss in Massive Stars [PDF]
AbstractWe review potential mass-loss mechanisms in the various evolutionary stages of massive stars, from the well-known line-driven winds of O-stars and BA-supergiants to the less-understood winds of Red Supergiants. We discuss optically thick winds from Wolf-Rayet stars and Very Massive Stars, and the hypothesis of porosity-moderated, continuum ...

Mass Loss from Cool Stars [PDF]
AbstractRecently obtained spectroscopic observations indicating mass loss in cool stars are reviewed with analogies to the solar atmosphere. Spectral diagnostics of mass loss are discussed with new theoretical calculations of chromospheric line profiles.

Mass Loss and Evolution of Massive Stars [PDF]
In the past few years both growing observational evidence and theoretical understanding have shown that mass loss by stellar wind is a common occurrence in the evolutionary history of many types of star. Recent reviews on the subject may be found in Conti (1978), Cassinelli (1979), Conti and Mc Cray (1980), Hutchings (1980a), de Loore (1979, 1980) and ...

Evolution of Binary Stars with Mass Loss [PDF]
Three situations involving mass loss from binary systems are discussed. (1) Non-conservative mass exchange in semi-detached binaries. No quantitative estimate of this mechanism is possible at present. (2) Common envelope binaries. There are both theoretical and observational indications that this phase of evolution happens to many systems, even to some

Mass-Loss from Spinning Stars [PDF]
AbstractThe effects of mass-loss and angular momentum loss on the evolution of massive stars are discussed bringing out the main results as well as the limitations of recent studies. It is pointed out that an acceptable theory of stellar winds in early as well as late type stars is needed as well as a satisfactory assessment of a number of ...

AbstractIntense mass loss through cool, low-velocity winds is a defining characteristic of low-to-intermediate mass stars during the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) evolutionary stage. Such winds return up ∼80% of the initial stellar mass to the interstellar medium and play a major role in enriching it with dust and heavy elements.

Ionisation fractions and mass-loss in O stars [PDF]
The most sensitive indicators of mass-loss for stars in the upper left part of the HR diagram are the UV P Cygni profiles observed in the resonance lines of common ions such as N V, Si IV, and C IV. We present here some results from a study of these lines in the high resolution IUE spectra of 197 Ï stars.
