Vulcano Workshop 2018 - Frontier Objects in Astrophysics and Particle Physics

The initial mass - compact remnant relation as a function of mass, metallicity and initial rotation velocity.

Not scheduled

20m

Therasia Resort, Conference Room (Vulcano Island, Sicily, Italy)

Speaker

Dr Alessandro Chieffi (IAPS)

Description

I will discuss the range of possible masses of the remnants that are left by the explosion of a massive stars as well as current uncertainties in their estimates. I will show that current stellar models easily predict masses in the range of those observed by the LIGO-VIRGO collaboration
