Consequences for the nature of the supernova progenitor Depending on its initial rotational velocity a star may end its evolution as a red supergiant or as blue supergiant, or even as a Wolf-Rayet star With rotation 1) Tracks bluer 2) Redwards evolution favoured, more time spent at the RSG stage, more mass lost 3) Return to the blue favoured Hirschi et al. 2003

Angular momentum at the pre SN stage Specific angular momentum in the central part of the star which eventually will be locked into the compact remnant ZAMS End core He-burning Begin WR phase Changes of specific angular momentum are only due to internal transport processes Decreases as a function of time A great part of the decrease occurs during the MS phase 120 M sol ini / fin =40 9 M sol ini / fin =2.3
Maeder & Meynet M sol, Z = 0.02, V ini = 300 km s -1 No magnetic fields 15M sol, Z = 0.02, V ini = 300 km s -1 With magnetic fields MAGNETIC FIELDS ? According to Heger et al magnetic braking can slow down the core by about an order of magnitude. Help but still insufficient No long surface enrichments
15M sol, Z = 0.02, V ini = 300 km s -1 No magnetic fields 15M sol, Z = 0.02, V ini = 300 km s -1 With magnetic fields
New models with magnetic fields accounting for a local energy condition The energy for building the magnetic field is extracted from the energy in the differential rotation The amplitude of the magnetic field is determined by the energy available in the shear in the zone where it develops. In preparation Magnetic field appears mainly in the outer parts of the star (inhibiting effect of the gradient of the mean molecular weight) Evolution with magnetic field very similar to that obtained without magnetic field These results would favour the loss of angular momentum at the time of collapse for accounting the observed rotation rate of young pulsars
