Helium stars

  • There are outstanding problems in trying to reproduce the observed nature of Wolf–Rayet stars from theoretical stellar models. We have investigated the effects of uncertainties, such as composition and mass-loss rate, on the evolution and structure of Wolf–Rayet stars and their lower mass brethren. We find that the normal Conti scenario needs to be altered, with different WR types being due to different initial masses as well as different stages of evolution.
