ROTATING MODELS Surface enrichements Blue to red supergiants ratio at low metallicity Wolf-Rayet to O-type stars at various metallicities Type Ibc to type IIsupernovae at various metallicities At low metallicity predict higher enrichments higher velocities primary Nitrogen very metal poor stars Pulsar rotation rates/GRB progenitors
EFFECTS OF ROTATION AT VERY LOW METALLICITY ROTATIONAL MIXING 13C and 14N produced in great quantities ROTATIONAL MASS LOSS May loose half of their initial mass through stellar winds NUCLEOSYNTHESIS Pair instability supernovae avoided ?
Do the models reproduce the observed rotation rate of young pulsars ? Observed rotation periods of young pulsars: 2ms – 100 ms (20ms) Middletich et al. 2000; Romani & Ng 2003; Marshall et al. 2003 Pre SN 25 – 320 X angular momentum in young pulsars In pre SN stages, more efficient angular momentum Processes ? For NS with P=20ms Loss of angular momentum during the collapse ? Fryer and Warren 2004
Relation SN - GRB COLLAPSAR: Woosley, 2002 Hjorth et al. 2003 Precursor: Rotating WR star ? Is there enough rotation ? 1 % of all WR would be enough.
Conditions for a collapsar WR To have sufficient angular momentum Pre SN Zsol > 1016 cm2 s-1 But No WO STARS ! For NS at break-up Woosley 2003 To have lost its H-rich envelope, to be a WO star (Mhe > 8 Msol-> BH) For NS with P=20mms
