Wind anisotropy and stellar evolution
2008
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union
AbstractMass loss is a determinant factor which strongly affects the evolution and the fate of massive stars. At low metallicity, stars are supposed to rotate faster than at the solar one. This favors the existence of stars near the critical velocity. In this rotation regime, the deformation of the stellar surface becomes important, and wind anisotropy develops. Polar winds are expected to be dominant for fast rotating hot stars.These polar winds allow the star to lose large quantities of mass
