Abstract
We complement the <scp>parsec</scp> data base of stellar evolutionary tracks with new models of massive stars, from the pre-main-sequence phase to the central carbon ignition. We consider a broad range of metallicities, 0.0001 ≤ <it>Z</it> ≤ 0.04 and initial masses up to <it>M</it><inf>ini</inf> = 350 M<inf>&odot;</inf>. The main difference with respect to our previous models of massive stars is the adoption of a recent formalizm accounting for the mass-loss enhancement when the ratio of the stellar to the Eddington luminosity, Γ<inf><it>e</it></inf>, approaches unity. With this new formalizm, the models are able to…
