Surface CNO abundanceand Pulsation of Blue Subergiants tell about internal mixing and winds of massive stars Hideyuki Saio (Tohoku University, Sendai) in collaboration with Cyril Georgy(Keele University, UK) George Meynet (Geneva Observatory)
Two types of luminous Blue Supergiants (BSG) MS BSG RSG BSG HD limit with rotational mixing Exström et al. (2012)
Radial pulsations are excited in BSGs returned from RSGs at least one radial pulsation mode is excited Pulsations can distinguish the two types of Blue Supergiants
Micro variations in blue Supergiants --- α Cygni variables Sp. Type; A—B log L/Lsun > 4.6 Semi-regular variations Periods; ~10 – 100 days Deneb (α Cyg) Rigel (β Ori) Pulsating BSGs must be returned from Red Supergiants (RSGs)

Surface CNO ratios of BSGs depend on the assumptions about internal mixing Rotational mixing : Initial rotation velocity (0.4×critial at ZAMS assumed) Chemical composition is obtained from with turbulent diffusion coefficient Convective mixing: Two different criterions Schwarzschild criterion Ledoux criterion (μ=mean. mol.weight)

Summary Pulsating blue supergiants(α Cygnivariables) should beonce red-supergiants and lost significant mass: Blue --> Red --> Blue evolution Discrepanciesof CNO abundances: Models (Georgy et al. 2013): Schwarzschild criterion: N/C ≈ 60; N/O ≈ 4 XHe≈ 0.63 Ledoux criterion: N/C ≈ 7; N/O ≈ 1.6 XHe≈ 0.46 Spectroscopic analyses (Przybilla et al. 2010): Deneb; N/C=3.4, N/O=0.65, XHe =0.32 Rigel; N/C=2.0, N/O=0.46, XHe=0.37 NGC 300 D12; ??? A10; ??? Surface compositions & pulsations of BSGs provide good constraints on the internal mixing.
I wish homogeneous data for CNO abundances & photometry of Blue supergiants in nearby galaxies BSGs NGC 300 (1.9Mpc) N(pulsator)/N(non-pulsator) = τEV(redblue)/τEV(bluered) Differences in N/C, N/O, 12C/13C between pulsators & non-pulsators Very good constraints onthe models of mixing and mass loss Standard deviation Bresolin et al.
