Large-scale variability in macroturbulence driven by pulsations in the rapidly rotating massive star ζ Oph from high-cadence ESPRESSO spectroscopy and TESS photometry
Despite their importance, the dynamical properties of massive stars remain poorly understood. Rotation is a key driver of internal mixing and angular momentum transport, significantly influencing massive star evolution. However, constraining rotation from spectroscopy is challenging, as spectral lines often exhibit excess broadening beyond rotation
