Massive Star Evolution: Binaries as Two Single Stars

Cyril Georgy, Sylvia Ekström

Published 2018-08-28Version 1

Binary stars are of course more than two stars, but they are also at least two stars. In this chapter we will review some aspects of the physics governing the evolution of single massive stars. We will also review the uncertainties of key physical ingredients: mass loss, rotation and convection.
