1209.5939 (Jorick S. Vink)

The mass-loss dominated lives of the most massive stars    [PDF]

Jorick S. Vink
Utrecht has a long tradition in both spectroscopy and mass-loss studies. Here we present a novel methodology to calibrate mass-loss rates on purely spectroscopic grounds. We utilize this to predict the final fates of massive stars, involving pair-instability and long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at low metallicity Z.
