TRANSCRIPT

  • Lecture 19

    Pair Instability SupernovaeandPopulation III

  • Mass Loss in Very Massive Primordial StarsNegligible line-driven winds (mass loss ~ metallicity1/2) (Kudritzki 2002)No opacity-driven pulsations (no metals)Continuum-driven winds likely small contributionEpsilon mechanism inefficient in metal-free stars below ~1000 M (Baraffe, Heger & Woosley 2000) from pulsational analysis we estimate upper limits:120solar masses:
