On the evolution and fate of super-massive stars
Context: We study the evolution and fate of solar compositionsuper-massive stars in the mass range 60-1000 Mȯ. Ourstudy is relevant for very massive objects observed in young stellarcomplexes as well as for super-massive stars that could potentially formthrough runaway stellar collisions. Aims: We predict the outcomes ofstellar evolution by employing a mass-loss prescription that isconsistent with the observed Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram location of themost massive stars. Methods: We compute a series of stellar models withan appropriately modified version of the Eggleton evolutionary code. Results: We find that super-massive stars with initial masses up to 1000Mȯ end their lives as objects less massive than≃150 Mȯ. These objects are expected to collapseinto black holes (with M ⪉ 70 ~Mȯ) or explode aspair-instability supernovae. Conclusions: We argue that ifultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) contain intermediate-mass blackholes, these are unlikely to be the result of runaway stellar collisionsin the cores of young clusters.
