| Abstract: |
The evolutionary fate of massive stars in our MilkyWay is thought to be reasonably well understood: stars above ~ 8MSolar produce neutron stars and supernovae, while those above ~ 20...30MSolar are presumed to form black holes. At metallicities of the SMC and below, however, our knowledge becomes poor. We show that, possibly, a type of supernova dominates in the metal-poor universe which hardly occurs at solar metallicity, and that stars of only 10MSolar initially may form black holes and gamma-ray bursts rather than neutron stars. |
