abstract

Several properties of massive stars with large effects of rotation and radiation are studied. We show that there are 2 roots for the equation giving the rotational velocities at break-up: 1) The usual solution, which is shown to apply when the Eddington ratio $\Gamma$ of the star is smaller than formally 0.639. 2) Above this value of $\Gamma$, there is a second root, inferior to the first one, for the break-up velocity. This second solution tends to zero, when $\Gamma$ tends towards 1. This second root results from the interplay of radiation and rotation, and in particular from the reduction by rotation of the effective mass in the local Eddington factor. The analysis made here should hopefully clarify a recent debate between Langer (\cite{La97,La98}) and Glatzel (\cite{Gla98}). The expression for the global mass loss-rates is a function of both $\Omega$ and $\Gamma$, and this may give raise to extreme mass loss-rates ($\Omega \Gamma $-limit). In particular, for O-type stars, LBV stars, supergiants and Wolf-Rayet stars, even slow rotation may dramatically enhance the mass loss rates. Numerical examples in the range of 9 to 120 M$_{\odot}$ at various $T_\mathrm{eff}$ are given.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Self-consistent spherical accretion simulations show cooling-enhanced growth of PBHs with radiative efficiency ~10^{-2} in the bremsstrahlung regime, yielding a critical seed mass of ~10^{-16} M_sun to consume a solar...

  2. Gravity modes and potential evidence for Rossby Waves in late O-type supergiants

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Three O-type supergiants observed by TESS show low-frequency periodicities and near-constant frequency spacings, which the authors interpret as rotationally split gravity modes and possible Rossby waves.

  3. On the Origin of Intracluster Light based on the High-resolution Simulation, NewCluster

    astro-ph.GA 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a high-resolution cluster simulation, most intracluster-light stars come from satellite galaxies, and stars stripped before cluster infall are old, metal-poor, alpha-enhanced and trace dark matter.

  4. How Dust Models Shape High-z Galaxy Morphology: Insights from the NewCluster Simulation

    astro-ph.GA 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Simulated galaxies with on-the-fly dust evolution appear brighter-centered and more bulge-dominated in mock JWST images than with a fixed dust-to-metal ratio, lowering the measured late-type fraction at high redshift.

    astro-ph.GA 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Python rewrite of STARBURST99 with new low-metallicity and very massive star models predicts a 0.3 dex boost in HI ionising flux when the upper mass limit is raised from 120 to 300 solar masses.

  6. Globular cluster formation from inertial inflows: accreting extremely massive stars as the origin of abundance anomalies

    astro-ph.GA 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Globular cluster abundance anomalies can be produced by winds from accreting extremely massive stars that form naturally in massive, high-surface-density gas clouds.

  7. The Gaia-ESO Survey: Projected Rotational Velocities of B stars in the Carina Nebula

    astro-ph.SR 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    New v sin i measurements for 330 B stars in Carina, with 222 first estimates, show a peak at 100 to 150 km/s and cluster-to-cluster differences.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Theoretical predictions for local BBH merger rates exceed observations by a factor >10 under conservative SFRD and metallicity assumptions, indicating need for revisions in stellar evolution.
