Massive Stars in the Range $\rm 13-25 M_\odot$: Evolution and Nucleosynthesis. II. the Solar Metallicity Models

Astrophysics 2009-07-10 v1

Abstract

We present the evolutionary properties of a set of massive stellar models (namely 13, 15, 20 and 25 M\rm M_\odot) from the main sequence phase up to the onset of the iron core collapse. All these models have initial solar chemical composition, i.e. Y=0.285 and Z=0.02. A 179 isotope network, extending from neutron up to 68Zn\rm ^{68}Zn and fully coupled to the evolutionary code has been adopted from the Carbon burning onward. Our results are compared, whenever possible, to similar computations available in literature.
