Fig. 14

Mass fraction of helium in the stellar core Yc and at the surface Ys depicted for stellar models of 100, 300, and 500 M⊙ and rotation rates explained in the figure key. For a given rotation rate, initially more massive stars increase their surface helium abundance more quickly. Every 105 yr the models are highlighted by filled circles. Chemically homogeneous evolution is indicated by equal changes in both mass fractions and corresponds to a slope unity. At Yc ≥ 0.8, all calculated stellar evolution models show an evolution toward the line of equal Yc and Ys, caused by mass loss.
