Efficient mass transfer in binaries naturally limits the mass of the first-born black hole and produces a sharp drop above 45 solar masses that mimics the pair-instability gap.

Eruptive mass loss in red supergiants increases linearly with metallicity, calibrated via by-eye fits to Local Group luminosity functions, preventing initial masses above about 20 solar masses from reaching the red supergiant phase.

Calibrating Eruptive Mass Loss in Red Supergiants with Local Group Data
Eruptive mass loss in red supergiants increases linearly with metallicity, calibrated via by-eye fits to Local Group luminosity functions, preventing initial masses above about 20 solar masses from reaching the red supergiant phase.
