MASS LOSS INDUCED BY ROTATION AT VERY LOW METALLICITY Georges Meynet, Sylvia Ekström, André Maeder Observatoire astronomique de l’Université de Genève Raphael Hirschi Dpt. of physics and astronomy, Basel University Consequences for chemical enrichments Consequences for long GRB progenitors
At low metallicity, very weak radiatively driven stellar winds Mass loss rate Kudritzki & Puls (2000) a=0.5 Evans et al. (2005) a=0.62+ - 0.15 What happens if metal poor stars are fast rotators ? «
MORE FAST ROTATORS AT LOW Z ? Proportion of stars near break-up Increases at lower Z W/Wc = 0.7 Z=0.020 Vini= 300 - 400 km s-1 for 9 and 60 Msol Z=0 From 19 clusters in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds Vini= 500 - 800 km s-1 for 9 and 60 Msol Maeder, Grebel, Mermilliod 1999

WHAT HAPPENS IF STARS ARE ROTATING ? ROTATION MODIFIES THE SURFACE CONDITIONS MERIDIONAL CIRCULATION TRANSPORT ANGULAR MOMENTUM OUTWARDS IN THE OUTER LAYERS ROTATION INDUCES INTERNAL CHEMICAL MIXING WHICH CHANGES THE EVOLUTIONARY TRACKS ROTATION INDUCES CHANGES OF THE SURFACE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION • FAVOURS WR STAR FORMATION 2) INCREASE THE OPACITY OF THE OUTER LAYERS TRIGGERING LINE DRIVEN WINDS

Evolution of Ω(r) during the Main Sequence Ω decreases inside the star Removal of angular momentum at the surface by the stellar winds Transport of angular momentum Changes of the structure Gradients ofΩ modest At the end of the MS, dominant effect is the local conservation of the angular momentum 20 Msol, Vini= 300 km s-1
Anisotropic mass loss • Different evolution of rotation • The account for anisotropic mass • loss favours break-up Maeder, 2002
WG-limit at the tip of the blue loop Redwards evolution favoured
What are the effects of rotation on the Wolf-Rayet star formation process ? Hot stars Log Teff > 4.0 Mass fraction of hydrogen At the surface below 0.4 In non-rotating models: Mass loss = the key parameter In rotating models: Rotational diffusion and mass loss Maeder 1987 Fliegner and Langer 1995 Meynet and Maeder 2003
For a given metallicity, the minimum initial mass of single stars which become Wolf-Rayet star is decreased for higher rotation velocities WR lifetimes also increased for a given initial mass 22Msol 37Msol
