Models for WR and O-Star Populations in Young Starbursts
Below are links to the predictions from the New models for Wolf-Rayet
and O-star Populations in Young Starbursts
from Schaerer & Vacca (1998, ApJ, 497, 618;
[Abstract] ,
[Full paper - PostScript (4.3MB)] ,
[Text only (1.2MB)] ,
[All Figs. (3.3MB)] ).
NOTE:
After publication an error was found in the model calculations.
The main results of the paper are not affected. Quantitatively
some of the predictions are, however, changed. Please look here for an
update of the S&V98 figures.
NEW:
The models available on this page include all models presented in Schaerer
& Vacca and extend the parameter range.
Calculations for a wide range of metallicities (Z=0.001, 0.004, 0.008,
0.020=solar, 0.040), IMF slopes (alpha=1.0, 2.35=Salpeter, 3.3),
and star-formation histories (instantaneous bursts; extended bursts
of 1, 2, 4 Myr; continuous star-formation).
Generaly the models are given for ages between 0 and 10 Myr
(continuous star-formation models up to 100 Myr).
