Enhanced mass loss of very massive stars: Impact on the evolution, binary processes, and remnant mass spectrum

Open Access

Fig. 9.

Possible initial masses of R136a1 from single star and stellar merger origins. The shaded areas show the primary and secondary ZAMS masses of stars that merge during evolution and overlap in the HRD with the observed location of R136a1. The blue, green, and pink show results from Ṁ_rdw Ṁ_{Γ_e}, and Ṁ_L/M, respectively. The dashed histograms show the initial mass from single stellar evolution.
