- W1000143224 abstract "We will define a high-mass star as one with a final mass of greater than 10 M⊙. On the main sequence this group would include stars of spectral type O, B0, and B1. Although stars in this mass range are few in number compared with low-mass stars, they are extremely important with regard to galactic chemical evolution and the physics of the interstellar medium. Stars in this mass range (actually down to about 8 M⊙) evolve to become Type II supernovae which produce and eject a significant amount of the heavy-element material in the Galaxy. The heavy elements act as cooling agents in the interstellar gas, promoting the formation of later generations of stars. The UV radiation from the massive stars and the concomitant generation of HII regions, along with strong stellar winds, and eventually supernovae remnants stir, energize, and heat the ISM, producing fascinating observable structures. The resulting dynamical effects are thought, in some cases, to induce the formation of a new generation of stars in the surrounding medium (Chap. 2). On the other hand, the resulting ionization and heating can erode nearby molecular cloud material and suppress subsequent star formation in the neighborhood. The brightness of HII regions allows them to be a useful tool in estimating the star formation rate in distant galaxies. The UV radiation from massive stars can have a significant effect on the evaporation of protostellar disks around lower-mass stars in the same cluster." @default.
