The Evolution of Surface Parameters of Rotating Massive Stars

Abstract

We summarize the present status of the predictions of massive star models for the evolution of their surface properties. After discussing luminosity, temperature and chemical composition, we focus on the question whether massive stars may arrive at critical rotation during their evolution, either on the main sequence or in later stages. We find both cases to be possible and briefly discuss observable consequences.
