Massive Hypervelocity Runaway Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Since the hypervelocity stars were discovered in the Milky Way, various mechanisms have been proposed to explain these runaway stars. Up to now, however, the dominant ejected mechanism of hypervelocity stars is still unclear.

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 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 ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Extinction toward the Galactic Center (GC) is extreme and limits observations of its stars to the infrared. In addition, the extinction varies on scales of arcseconds.

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.

Galaxies, 2019 Several decades of observations of the most massive and most luminous stars have revealed a complex upper HR Diagram, shaped by mass loss, and inhabited by a variety of evolved stars exhibiting the consequences of their mass loss histories.

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.

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 ...

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 ...
