Fits for the Convective Envelope Mass in Massive Stars

We explore the evolution of massive stars (>8 M _⊙ ) with 1D models and present analytical fits to the masses and binding energies of the convective portions of their envelopes. These fits are given as functions of total mass, metallicity, and surface temperature (used as a proxy for evolutionary...
