10.6. Evaporating stars at galactic centers?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
The Geneva group has computed a complete grid of stellar models from 0.8 to 60 M⊙ at a metallicity of Z=0.100 (i.e. 5 times solar, Mowlavi et al. 1997). These stellar models present interesting features such as the nearly complete evaporation of the most massive stars due to intense stellar winds. For instance, for Z >> 0.040, final stages of massive stars (M > 60 M⊙) might be white dwarfs rather than neutron stars or black holes.
