Evolution of the Convective Core Mass during the Main Sequence

We construct a semianalytical model that describes the convective core mass evolution of massive stars experiencing mass loss during the main-sequence stage. We first conduct a suite of 1D stellar evolution calculations to build insight into how convective core masses behave under idealized mass los...
