大质量恒星的环境和质量上限

Environments of massive stars and the upper mass limit

Paul A. Crowther

摘要:

综述了大质量恒星(> 8 Msun)在其宿主星系中的位置。这些范围从分布的OB协会到巨大的HII区域内的密集星团。在低红移和高红移下,对大质量恒星与核塌缩超新星和长持续时间伽马射线暴的环境进行了比较。我们还讨论了恒星质量上限的问题,因为非常大质量的恒星(VMS,Minit >> 100 Msun)可能会产生异常明亮的核心坍缩超新星或对不稳定超新星。

英文摘要:

The locations of massive stars (> 8 Msun) within their host galaxies is reviewed. These range from distributed OB associations to dense star clusters within giant HII regions. A comparison between massive stars and the environments of core-collapse supernovae and long duration Gamma Ray Bursts is made, both at low and high redshift. We also address the question of the upper stellar mass limit, since very massive stars (VMS, Minit >> 100 Msun) may produce exceptionally bright core-collapse supernovae or pair instability supernovae.
