On the Maximum Black Hole Mass at Solar Metallicity

In high-metallicity environments the mass that black holes (BHs) can reach just after core collapse widely depends on how much mass their progenitor stars lose via winds. On one hand, new theoretical and observational insights suggest that early-stage winds should be weaker than what many canonical...
