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