Massive stars have strong stellar winds that direct their evolution through the upper
Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and determine the black hole mass function. Furthermore …

Several theories have been proposed to describe the formation of black hole seeds in the
early Universe and to explain the emergence of very massive black holes observed in the …

Massive stars, at least∼ 10 \sim10 times more massive than the Sun, have two key
properties that make them the main drivers of evolution of star clusters, galaxies, and the …

Stellar evolution theory predicts a" gap" in the black hole birth function caused by the pair
instability. Many presupernova stars that have a core mass below some limiting value, M …

The Binary Population and Spectral Synthesis suite of binary stellar evolution models and
synthetic stellar populations provides a framework for the physically motivated analysis of …

Stellar-mass black holes are the final remnants of stars born with more than 15 solar
masses. Billions are expected to reside in the Local Group, yet only a few are known, mostly …

With recent advances in gravitational-wave astronomy, the direct detection of gravitational
waves from the merger of two stellar-mass compact objects has become a realistic prospect …

We complement the parsec data base of stellar evolutionary tracks with new models of
massive stars, from the pre-main-sequence phase to the central carbon ignition. We …

We present a new model of the nebular emission from star-forming galaxies in a wide range
of chemical compositions, appropriate to interpret observations of galaxies at all cosmic …
