Table 6.
Suggested single-star evolution scenarios based revised WC/WO parameters.
| Mi (M⊙) | Evolutionary path |
|---|---|
| 8–18 | OB → RSG [→ BSG] → SN II |
| 18–35 | O → RSG → WNL [↔ LBV] → WN → WC |
| → WO → CC | |
| 35–80 | O → Of/WNH ↔ LBV → WN → WC → WO → CC |
| >80 | O → Of/WNH ↔ LBV [→ WNH] → SN IIn |
Notes. The mass ranges should be taken as rough estimates inferred from comparing empirical luminosities with current evolutionary calculations instead of hard limits.
