The stability of massive main-sequence stars as a function of metallicity

Abstract: We investigate the pulsational stability of massive (M≳ 120 M⊙) main‐sequence stars of a range of metallicities, including primordial, Population III stars. We include a formulation of convective damping motivated by numerical simulations of the interaction between convection and periodic shear flows. We find that convective viscosity is likely strong enough to stabilize radial pulsations whenever nuclear burning (the ε‐mechanism) is the dominant source of driving. This suggests that massive main‐sequence star… Show more

“…On the other hand, masses of Population III stars could be much higher due to the absence of effective coolants in the primordial gas. Then, their masses could be limited by pulsations, though, the upper mass limit remains undefined [703] and masses up to ≃ 1000 M ⊙ are often inferred in theoretical studies.…”

“…In Figure 7, we show the linear frequency, the coupling coefficient with the parent mode (Weinberg et al 2012), and the linear damping rate due to turbulent convection of each daughter mode (Shiode et al 2012;Burkart et al 2013).…”

“…We select four pairs of models with similar reference core masses of M ref He core 4.3, 5.4, 5.7, 6.3 M . 4 Assuming no dynamical transient happen shortly before corecollapse (e.g., Shiode et al 2012;Khazov et al 2016;Fuller 2017;Fuller & Ro 2018) We focus on the composition inside the helium core. The radius of each diagram is proportional to the total helium core mass.…”
