Mass Loss and Stellar Rotation [PDF]
The observational evidence for non-spherical winds of rapidly rotating hot and cool stars is presented. Models to explain equatorially enhanced winds of AGB stars and of hot B[e]-supergiants are discussed. We distinguish between models with a disk due to an increased equatorial mass flux and those with a disk due to spherical mass loss with a wind ...

M-dwarf stellar winds : the effects of realistic magnetic geometry on rotational evolution and planets [PDF]
AAV acknowledges support from a Royal Astronomical Society Fellowship. JM acknowledges support from a fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation.We perform three-dimensional numerical simulations of stellar winds of early-M-dwarf stars.

The Dependence of Mass Loss on the Basic Stellar Parameters [PDF]
We determined the dependence of mass loss on the stellar parameters for O and B stars of various luminosities. We used four homogenous sets of mass loss rates derived by different authors from the radioflux, the infrared excess, the UV lines and Hα emission.

Continuous stellar mass-loss in
We present an N-body computer code -aimed at studies of galactic dynamics - with a CPU-efficient algorithm for a continuous (i.e. time-dependent) stellar mass-loss. First, we summarize available data on stellar mass-loss and derive the long-term (20 Gyr)

The initial/final mass relation for stellar evolution with mass loss [PDF]
The relation between initial and final masses is discussed under consideration of changing theoretical concepts and new empirical data on masses of white dwarfs and nuclei of planetary nebulae. It is concluded that presently adopted schemes of evolution need revision, and that no universal relation exists.The strongest evidence for large amounts of ...

Topics in Core-Collapse Supernova Theory: The Formation of Black Holes and the Transport of Neutrinos [PDF]
Core-Collapse Supernovae are one of the most complex astrophysical systems in the universe. They deeply entwine aspects of physics and astrophysics that are rarely side by side in nature.

The Division between Weak and Strong Explosions from Failed Supernovae
Some massive stars likely fail to produce core-collapse supernovae, but these failed supernovae (FSNe) can generate an electromagnetic outburst prior to the disappearance of the star, as the mass lost to neutrinos during the stellar core collapse results

The origin of dispersion in the wind mass-loss rate–luminosity relation of massive O stars
Context. Stellar winds of hot stars are accelerated by the radiative force that mainly comes from the line transitions of heavy elements. As a result, the wind mass-loss rate is expected to scale mostly with the stellar luminosity.
