We have investigated the evolutionary behaviour of intermediate mass (2, 3, 4, 5, and 7M ⊙) Population I stars, assuming two different rates of rotation at the threshold of stability. In the first part of the study, stars are assumed to start with a critical rotation (fast rotation model) and to progress to the point of rotational instability. The stars evolve by losing mass and become rotationally unstable before they reach the zero-age Main Sequence. It is argued that multiple star systems might be formed through the evolution of rapidly rotating stars. An expression for the rotational mass loss rate is derived as a function of the physical parameters of stars. In the second part of the study, stars are assumed to rotate at a rate below the critical value (slow rotation model). The evolution of slowly rotating stars is followed as far as zero-age Main Sequence on the theoretical Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and compared with that of normal stars. The evolutionary paths are found to be more or less similar to those of normal stars; but their positions on the Main Sequence are characterized by effective temperatures and luminosities lower than those of normal stars. The zero-age Main-Sequence times of these stars are longer than those of normal stars. The rotational rates obtained for the zero-age Main Sequence are in good agreement with observed values.

Double shell burning phase of intermediate mass Population III stars Kızıloğlu, Nilgün (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1988-8) The evolution of Population III intermediate mass stars of 5, 7, and 9M ⊙ has been studied after the core He-exhaustion phase. There are two energy producing regions within the stars; one is H-burning shell and the other is He-burning shell. During the double shell burning phase, the evolution does not proceed on the asymtotic giant branch and the second dredge-up does not appear, hence, there is no change in the surface composition of the stars. The final state of these stars are important in modelling the...
Pre-Main-Sequence evolution of rotating low-mass stars Kızıloğlu, Nilgün (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1989-4) The evolutionary behaviour of rotating low-mass stars in the mass range 0.2 and 0.9M ⊙ has been investigated during the pre-Main-Sequence phase. The angular momentum is conserved locally in radiative regions and totally in convective regions, according to a predetermined angular velocity distribution depending on the structure of the star. As the stars contract toward the zero-age Main Sequence, they spin up under the assumption that the angular momentum is conserved during the evolution of the stars. When ...
Pregalactic-primordial low-mass stars Kızıloğlu, Nilgün Gülşan; Eryurt, Dilhan Ezer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1987-8) The Main-Sequence positions as well as the evolutionary behavior of Population III stars up to an evolution age of 2×1010 yr, taking this time as the age of the Universe, have been investigated in the mass range 0.2 and 0.8M ⊙. While Population III stars with masses greater than 0.3M ⊙ develop a radiative core during the approach to the Main Sequence, stars with masses smaller than 0.3M ⊙ reach the Main Sequence as a wholly convective stars. Population III stars with masses greater than 0.5M ⊙ show a bright...
A photometric-spectroscopic analysis and the evolutionary status of the Algol-type binary U Coronae Borealis Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Zola, S; Smith, RC; Tovmassian, G (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2003-07-11) The prime purposes of this study are to obtain reliable orbital parameters for the Algol-type binary U Coronae Borealis (U CrB) and to explain the evolutionary status of this system. All observations of the primary star's radial velocity are consistent with the value K(1) = 58.6 +/- 2.0 km s(-1). Measurements of the radial velocity of the secondary component give K(2) = 185.2 +/- 5.0 km s(-1). Using the photometrically determined inclination of 78.7 +/- 0.3, the masses of the two stars are therefore deduced...
The momentum 4-vector imparted by gravitational waves in Bianchi-type metrics Havare, A; Korunur, M; Salti, M (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-01-01) Considering the MOller, Weinberg and Qadir-Sharif's definitions in general relativity, we find the momentum 4-vector of the closed universe based on the Bianchi-type metrics. The momentum 4-vector (due to matter plus fields) is found to be zero. This result supports the viewpoints of Albrow and Tryon and extends the previous works by Cooperstock-Israelit, Rosen, Johri et al., Banerjee-Sen and Vargas who investigated the problem of the energy in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe and SaltI-Havare who studie...
