Although the theoretical study of very low metallicity (Z) and metal-free stars is not new, their importance has recently greatly increased since two related fields have been developing rapidly. The first is cosmological simulations of the…

At very low metallicity, the effects of differential rotation have a more important impact on the evolution of stars than at high metallicity. Rotational mixing leads to the production of great quantities of helium and of primary $^{14}$N…

Some indirect observations, as the high fraction of Be stars at low metallicity, or the necessity for massive stars to be important sources of primary nitrogen, seem to indicate that very metal poor stars were fast rotators. As a…

We examine the role of rotation on the evolution and chemical yields of very metal--poor stars. The models include the same physics, which was applied successfully at the solar $Z$ and for the SMC, in particular, shear diffusion, meridional…

Rotating massive stars at $Z=10^{-8}$ and $10^{-5}$ lose a great part of their initial mass through stellar winds. The chemical composition of the rotationally enhanced winds of very low $Z$ stars is very peculiar. The winds show large CNO…

We discuss recent models on the evolution of massive stars at very low metallicity including the effects of rotation, magnetic fields and binarity. Very metal poor stars lose very little mass and angular momentum during the main sequence…

(Abridged) Rotation has been shown to play a determinant role at very low metallicity, bringing heavy mass loss where almost none was expected. Is this still true when the metallicity strictly equals zero? The aim of our study is to get an…

We present evolutionary models of zero-metallicity very massive objects, with initial masses in the range 120 Msun -- 1000 Msun, covering their quiescent evolution up to central carbon ignition. In the attempt of exploring the possible…

Mass loss plays a dominant role in the evolution of massive stars at solar metallicity. After discussing different mass loss mechanisms and their metallicity dependence, we present the possibility of strong mass loss at very low…

Stellar rotation produces an internal mixing of the elements due to shear instability and meridional circulation. This leads to observable $N/C$ enhancements in massive stars above about 7--9 $M_{\odot}$. Rotation also favours mass loss by…

Rotation appears as a dominant effect in massive star evolution. It largely affects all the model outputs: inner structure, tracks, lifetimes, isochrones, surface compositions, blue to red supergiant ratios, etc. At lower metallicities, the…

Two series of models and their yields are presented in this paper. The first series consists of 20 Mo models with varying initial metallicity (solar down to $Z=10^{-8}$) and rotation (Vini=0-600 km/s). The second one consists of models with…

Neutrino losses play a crucial role in the evolution of massive stars. We study the neutrino luminosity of stars ranging from 20 to 90 M_{\odot} from Zero Age Main Sequence (ZAMS) to Fe Core Collapse (FeCC) with different rotation and…

Massive stars played a key role in the early evolution of the Universe. They formed with the first halos and started the re-ionisation. It is therefore very important to understand their evolution. In this review, we first recall the effect…

The effects of rotation on stellar evolution are particularly important at low metallicity, when mass loss by stellar winds diminishes and the surface enrichment due to rotational mixing becomes relatively more pronounced than at high…

We calculate a grid of star models with and without the effects of axial rotation for stars in the mass range between 2 and 60 M$_{\odot}$ for the metallicity $Z = 10^{-5}$. Star models with initial masses superior or equal to 9 M$_\odot$…

We calculate a grid of models with and without the effects of axial rotation for massive stars in the range of 9 to 60 M$_{\odot}$ and metallicity $Z$ = 0.004 appropriate for the SMC. Remarkably, the ratios $\Omega/\Omega_{\mathrm{crit}}$…

Metal-free stars are assumed to evolve at constant mass because of the very low stellar winds. This leads to large CO-core mass at the end of the evolution, so primordial stars with an initial mass between 25 and 85 Msol are expected to end…

(shortened) The first couple of stellar generations may have been massive, of order 100 Msun, and to have played a dominant role in galaxy formation and the chemical enrichment of the early Universe. Some fraction of these objects may have…

Mass loss and axial rotation are playing key roles in shaping the evolution of massive stars. They affect the tracks in the HR diagram, the lifetimes, the surface abundances, the hardness of the radiation field, the chemical yields, the…
