Abstract In high-metallicity environments the mass that black holes (BHs) can reach just after core collapse widely depends on how much their progenitor stars lose via winds. On one hand, new theoretical and observational insights suggest early-stage winds should be weaker than what many canonical models prescribe. other proximity to Eddington limit affect formation of optically thick envelopes already during earliest stages with initial masses M ZAMS ≳ 100 ⊙ , hence resulting in higher...
