The Evolution of Massive Binary Stars
Annual Review of Astronomy and AstrophysicsMassive stars play a major role in the evolution of their host galaxies and serve as important probes of the distant Universe. It has been established that the majority of massive stars reside in close binaries and interact with their companion stars during their lifetimes.

The stability of massive stars [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994 An investigation of the stability properties of stellar models describing massive stars is motivated observationally by the necessity to explain the observed Humphreys - Davidson (HD) limit and the variability of the most massive stars known, i.e. the existence of luminous blue variables (LBVs).

The evolution of massive binary systems [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2020 The evolution of massive stars in close binary systems is significantly different from single star evolution due to a series of interactions between the two stellar components.

On the Formation of Massive Stars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 We calculate numerically the collapse of slowly rotating, non-magnetic, massive molecular clumps, which conceivably could lead to the formation of massive stars. Because radiative acceleration on dust grains plays a critical role in the clump's dynamical evolution, we utilize a wavelength-dependent radiation transfer and a three component dust model ...

Eta Carinae: The Dissipating Occulter Is an Extended Structure
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Previous Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) longslit observations of Eta Carinae ( η Car) identified numerous absorption features in both the stellar spectrum, and in the adjacent nebular spectra, along our line of ...

Multiplicity of Massive Stars [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2001 We discuss the observed multiplicity of massive stars and implications on theories of massive star formation. After a short summary of the literature on massive star multiplicity, we focus on the O-and B-type stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster, which constitute a homogenous sample of very young massive stars.

Yellow Supergiants and Post-red Supergiant Evolution in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The empirical evidence for an upper-mass limit for the red supergiant (RSG) progenitors of the Type II-P SNe at about 18 MSun, raises questions about the fate of the most luminous, most massive RSGs.

On the formation of massive stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998 We present a model for the formation of massive ($M > 10 M_\odot$) stars through accretion-induced collisions in the cores of embedded dense stellar clusters. This model circumvents the problem of accreting onto a star whose luminosity is sufficient to reverse the infall of gas.

Massive Stars and Their Supernovae [PDF]
, 2010 Massive stars and their supernovae are prominent sources of radioactive isotopes, the observations of which thus can help to improve our astrophysical models of those. Our understanding of stellar evolution and the final explosive endpoints such as supernovae or hypernovae or gamma-ray bursts relies on the combination of magneto-hydrodynamics, energy ...

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999 The evolution of massive stars is far from being fully understood, as we outline by pointing to a number of open problems related to massive stars in the Magellanic Clouds. We argue that rotation may be a key ingredient in the physics of massive stars.
