Abstract:
    Tables of evolutionary sequences for massive stars with metallicities
    Z=0.002 and Z=0.01 in the mass range 9 to 40 M_{sun}_ and mass ratios
    0.9 and 0.6 are presented. The orbital periods are chosen such that
    mass transfer according to case B occurs, i.e. mass exchange after
    core hydrogen exhaustion, during semi-detached and contact phases. The
    evolutionary code used by de Loore & De Greve (1992A&AS...94..453D)
    for galactic massive close binaries was updated, i.e. new
    thermodynamic quantities and new opacities were installed. The
    evolution of both components is followed simultaneously. Stellar wind
    mass loss rates during the OB phase are scaled according to the
    radiatively driven wind theory. Wolf-Rayet mass loss rates are assumed
    to be independent of metallicity. The models presented here may be
    used to interpret and evaluate the observations of Wolf-Rayet stars
    and massive binary X-ray sources in the Small and Large Magellanic
    Clouds.

Note (1): The different phases is as follows:
      ZAMS: Zero Age Main Sequence
       RP1: Red Point of the primary component
     Xc1=0: end of core hydrogen burning of the primary
     RLOFi: onset of a case B of Roche Lobe Overflow
      Lmin: minimum luminosity of the primary
    Xat<0.76 (SMC, or 0.74 (LMC)): hydrogen abundance of the primary drops
            below its initial value
    CHeB1i: onset of core helium burning of the primary
    VHeB1i: onset of core helium burning of the primary

    Teffmax2: maximum of the effective temperature of the secondary
   WNL1,WNE1, WC1 denote the onset of the different Wolf-Rayet phases,
            the WNL,WNE and WC-phases of the primary.
