Signature of main sequence internal structure in post-main sequence stars
Résumé
Post Main Sequence (post MS) stars keep a trace of their past main sequence history. Typically, the presence or not of an Intermediate Convective Zone (ICZ) above the H-burning shell of massive stars critically depends on the details of the Main Sequence (MS) phase modeling (convection criterion, mass loss,~...). We show here how the excitation of g-modes in blue supergiant stars is closely related to this ICZ, allowing to constrain different associated physical processes.
