Populations of massive stars in galaxies, implications for the stellar evolution theory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2006
Abstract
After a brief review of the observational evidences indicating how the populations of Be stars, red/blue supergiants, Wolf-Rayet stars vary as a function of metallicity, we discuss the implications of these observed trend for our understanding of the massive star evolution. We show how the inclusion of the effects of rotation in stellar models improves significantly the correspondence between theory and observation.
