Understanding the nature of the first stars is key to understanding the early universe. With new facilities such as JWST we may soon have the first observations of the earliest stellar populations, but to understand these observations we require detailed theoretical models. Here we compute a grid of stellar evolution models using the Geneva code with the aim to improve our understanding of the evolution of zero-metallicity stars, with particular interest in how rotation affects surface properties, interior structure, and metal enrichment. We produce a range of models of initial masses (Mini) from 1.7 Msun to 120 Msun, focusing on massive models of 9 Msun < Mini < 120 Msun. Our grid includes models with and without rotation, with rotating models having an initial velocity of 40% of the critical velocity. We find that rotation strongly impacts the evolution of the first stars, mainly through increased core size and stronger H-burning shells during core He-burning. Without radiative mass loss, angular momentum builds at the surface in rotating models, thus models of initial masses Mini > 60 Msun reach critical rotation on the main sequence and experience mass loss. We find that rotational mixing strongly affects metal enrichment, but does not always increase metal production as we see at higher metallicities. This is because rotation leads to an earlier CNO boost to the H shell during He-burning, which may hinder metal enrichment depending on initial mass and rotational velocity. Electronic tables of this new grid of Population III models are publicly available.

The effects of rotation on stellar evolution are particularly important at low metallicity, when mass loss by stellar winds diminishes and the surface enrichment due to rotational mixing becomes relatively more pronounced than at high metallicities.
Here we investigate the impact of rotation and metallicity on stellar evolution. Using a similar physics as in our previous large grids of models at Z=0.002 and Z=0.014, we compute stellar evolution models with the Geneva code for rotating and nonrotating stars with initial masses (Mini) between 1.7 and 120 Msun and Z=0.0004 (1/35 solar). This is comparable to the metallicities of the most metal poor galaxies observed so far, such as I Zw 18. Concerning massive stars, both rotating and nonrotating models spend most of their core-helium burning phase with an effective temperature higher than 8000 K. Stars become red supergiants only at the end of their lifetimes, and few RSGs are expected. Our models predict very few to no classical Wolf-Rayet stars as a results of weak stellar winds at low metallicity. The most massive stars end their lifetimes as luminous blue supergiants or luminous blue variables, a feature that is not predicted by models with higher metallicities. Interestingly, due to the behavior of the intermediate convective zone, the mass domain of stars producing pair-instability supernovae is smaller at Z=0.0004 than at Z=0.002. We find that during the main sequence phase, the ratio between nitrogen and carbon abundances (N/C) remains unchanged for nonrotating models. However, N/C increases by factors of 10-20 in rotating models at the end of the MS. Cepheids coming from stars with Mini > 4-6 Msun are beyond the core helium burning phase and spend little time in the instability strip. Since they would evolve towards cooler effective temperatures, these Cepheids should show an increase of the pulsation period as a function of age.
We present an extended grid of state-of-the art stellar models for low-mass stars including updated physics (nuclear reaction rates, surface boundary condition, mass-loss rate, angular momentum transport, torque and rotation-induced mixing prescripti
ons). We aim at evaluating the impact of wind braking, realistic atmospheric treatment, rotation and rotation-induced mixing on the structural and rotational evolution from the pre-main sequence to the turn-off. Using the STAREVOL code, we provide an updated PMS grid. We compute stellar models for 7 different metallicities, from [Fe/H] = -1 dex to [Fe/H] = +0.3 dex with a solar composition corresponding to $Z=0.0134$. The initial stellar mass ranges from 0.2 to 1.5Ms with extra grid refinement around one solar mass. We also provide rotating models for three different initial rotation rates (slow, median and fast) with prescriptions for the wind braking and disc-coupling timescale calibrated on observed properties of young open clusters. The rotational mixing includes an up-to-date description of the turbulence anisotropy in stably stratified regions. The overall behaviour of our models at solar metallicity -- and its constitutive physics -- is validated through a detailed comparison with a variety of distributed evolutionary tracks. The main differences arise from the choice of surface boundary conditions and initial solar composition. The models including rotation with our prescription for angular momentum extraction and self-consistent formalism for angular momentum transport are able to reproduce the rotation period distribution observed in young open clusters over a broad mass-range. These models are publicly available and may be used to analyse data coming from present and forthcoming asteroseismic and spectroscopic surveys such as Gaia, TESS and PLATO.
In this paper we present the evolution of a low mass model (initial mass M=1.5 Msun) with a very low metal content (Z=5x10^{-5}, equivalent to [Fe/H]=-2.44). We find that, at the beginning of the AGB phase, protons are ingested from the envelope in t
he underlying convective shell generated by the first fully developed thermal pulse. This peculiar phase is followed by a deep third dredge up episode, which carries to the surface the freshly synthesized 13C, 14N and 7Li. A standard TP-AGB evolution, then, follows. During the proton ingestion phase, a very high neutron density is attained and the s-process is efficiently activated. We therefore adopt a nuclear network of about 700 isotopes, linked by more than 1200 reactions, and we couple it with the physical evolution of the model. We discuss in detail the evolution of the surface chemical composition, starting from the proton ingestion up to the end of the TP-AGB phase.
We present stellar evolutionary tracks and nucleosynthetic predictions for a grid of stellar models of low- and intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars at $Z=0.001$ ([Fe/H]$=-1.2$). The models cover an initial mass range from 1 M$_{odot
}$ to 7 M$_{odot}$. Final surface abundances and stellar yields are calculated for all elements from hydrogen to bismuth as well as isotopes up to the iron group. We present the first study of neutron-capture nucleosynthesis in intermediate-mass AGB models, including a super-AGB model, of [Fe/H] = $-1.2$. We examine in detail a low-mass AGB model of 2 M$_{odot}$ where the $^{13}$C($alpha$,$n$)$^{16}$O reaction is the main source of neutrons. We also examine an intermediate-mass AGB model of 5 M$_{odot}$ where intershell temperatures are high enough to activate the $^{22}$Ne neutron source, which produces high neutron densities up to $sim 10^{14}$ n cm$^{-3}$. Hot bottom burning is activated in models with $M geq 3$ M$_{odot}$. With the 3 M$_{odot}$ model we investigate the effect of varying the extent in mass of the region where protons are mixed from the envelope into the intershell at the deepest extent of each third dredge-up. We compare the results of the low-mass models to three post-AGB stars with a metallicity of [Fe/H] $simeq -1.2$. The composition is a good match to the predicted neutron-capture abundances except for Pb and we confirm that the observed Pb abundances are lower than what is calculated by AGB models.
We model gas phase metallicity radial profiles of galaxies in the local Universe by building on the `bathtub chemical evolution formalism - where a galaxys gas content is determined by the interplay between inflow, star formation and outflows. In par
ticular, we take into account inside-out disc growth and add physically-motivated prescriptions for radial gradients in star formation efficiency (SFE). We fit analytical models against the metallicity radial profiles of low-redshift star-forming galaxies in the mass range $log(M_star/M_odot)$ = [9.0-11.0] derived by Belfiore et al. 2017, using data from the MaNGA survey. The models provide excellent fits to the data and are capable of reproducing the change in shape of the radial metallicity profiles, including the flattening observed in the centres of massive galaxies. We derive the posterior probability distribution functions for the model parameters and find significant degeneracies between them. The parameters describing the disc assembly timescale are not strongly constrained from the metallicity profiles, while useful constrains are obtained for the SFE (and its radial dependence) and the outflow loading factor. The inferred value for the SFE is in good agreement with observational determinations. The inferred outflow loading factor is found to decrease with stellar mass, going from nearly unity at $log(M_star/M_odot) = 9.0$ to close to zero at $log(M_star/M_odot) =11.0$, in general agreement with previous empirical determinations. These values are the lowest we can obtain for a physically-motivated choice of initial mass function and metallicity calibration. We explore alternative choices which produce larger loading factors at all masses, up to order unity at the high-mass end.
