Scientific paper

The evolutionary fate of massive stars in our Milky Way is thought to be reasonably well understood: stars above ˜ 8 M_&sun; produce neutron stars and supernovae, while those above ˜ 20...30 M_&sun; are presumed to form black holes. At metallicities below that of the SMC, however, our knowledge becomes poor. We show that, possibly, a type of supernova dominates in the low-Z universe which hardly occurs at solar metallicity, and that stars of only 10 M_&sun; initially may form black holes rather than neutron stars.
