Evolutionary tracks, ejecta, and ionizing photons from intermediate-mass to very massive stars with PARSEC

Understand

Recent advancements in stellar evolution modeling offer unprecedented accuracy in predicting the evolution and deaths of stars.

• We present new stellar evolutionary models computed with the updated PARSEC V2.0 code for a comprehensive and homogeneous grid of metallicities and initial masses.
• Nuclear reaction networks, mass loss prescriptions, and the treatment of elemental mixing have all been updated in PARSEC V2.0.
• We computed models for thirteen initial metallicities spanning $Z = 10^{-11}$ to $Z = 0.03$, with masses ranging from 2.0 M$_{\odot}$ to 2000 M$_{\odot}$, consisting of a library of over 1,100 ($\sim 2100$ tracks including pure-He models) full stellar evolution tracks.
