Massive Stars as the Radiant Queens of the Universe—The Case of ζ Puppis
Universe, 2022 Since the Cosmic Dawn, massive stars have been playing a crucial role as the chemical recycling engines of galaxies that enable the birth of new stars and planetary systems, not only through the strong winds that they exhibit during their relatively ...

Young Massive Star Clusters [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 Young massive clusters (YMCs) are dense aggregates of young stars that form the fundamental building blocks of galaxies. Several examples exist in the Milky Way Galaxy and the Local Group, but they are particularly abundant in starburst and interacting galaxies.

Massive star and star cluster formation [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 AbstractI review the status of massive star formation theories: accretion from collapsing, massive, turbulent cores; competitive accretion; and stellar collisions. I conclude the observational and theoretical evidence favors the first of these models.

Asteroseismology of High-Mass Stars: New Insights of Stellar Interiors With Space Telescopes
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 Massive stars are important metal factories in the Universe. They have short and energetic lives, and many of them inevitably explode as a supernova and become a neutron star or black hole.

Observational Properties of 155 O- and B-type Massive Pulsating Stars
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 O- and B-type (OB-type) pulsating stars are important objects for studying the structure and evolution of massive stars through asteroseismology. A large amount of data from various sky surveys provides an unprecedented opportunity to search for and ...

RCW36: characterizing the outcome of massive star formation [PDF]
, 2013 Massive stars play a dominant role in the process of clustered star formation, with their feedback into the molecular cloud through ionizing radiation, stellar winds and outflows.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 In our Galaxy, star formation occurs in a variety of environments, with a large fraction of stars formed in clusters hosting massive stars. OB stars have an important feedback on the evolution of protoplanetary disks orbiting around nearby young stars ...
