Massive Star Mergers: Induced Mixing and Nucleosynthesis | N. Ivanova

3 Dec 2001 | Subject: | astro-ph | Abstract: | We study the nucleosynthesis and the induced mixing during the merging of massive stars inside a common envelope. The systems of interest are close binaries, initially consisting of a massive red supergiant and a main-sequence companion of a few solar masses. We apply parameterized results based on hydrodynamical simulations to model the stream-core interaction and the response of the star in a standard stellar-evolution code. Preliminary results are presented illustrating the possibility of unusual nucleosynthesis and post-merging dredge-up which can cause composition anomalies in the supergiant’s envelope. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0112039 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
