The Evolution of Massive Stars [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997 Massive stars are the crossroads of many important astrophysical problems and thus a proper understanding of their evolution is very needed. They are the main sources of UV radiation, by heating the interstellar dust they produce the far-IR luminosities of galaxies.

Binary Interaction Dominates the Evolution of Massive Stars [PDF]
Science, 2012 Star Partners Stars more massive than eight times the mass of the Sun are rare and short-lived, yet they are fundamentally important because they produce all the heavy elements in the universe, such as iron, silicon, and calcium. Sana et al. (p.

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.

The Evolution of Massive Helium Stars, Including Mass Loss [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 The evolution of helium stars with initial masses in the range 1.6–120 is studied, including the effects of mass loss by winds. These stars are assumed to form in binary systems when their expanding hydrogenic envelopes are promptly lost just after ...

Very massive stars, pair-instability supernovae and intermediate-mass black holes with the sevn code [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding the link between massive ($\gtrsim 30$ M$_{\odot{}}$) stellar black holes (BHs) and their progenitor stars is a crucial step to interpret observations of gravitational-wave events.

Response to Comment on “An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst” [PDF]
Science, 2018 Farr and Mandel reanalyze our data, finding initial mass function slopes for high-mass stars in 30 Doradus that agree with our results. However, their reanalysis appears to underpredict the observed number of massive stars.

Massive stars in transition [PDF]
EAS Publications Series, 2004 We discuss the various post-main sequence phases of massive stars, focusing on Wolf-Rayet stars, Luminous Blue Variables, plus connections with other early-type and late-type supergiants. End states for massive stars are also investigated, emphasising connections between Supernovae originating from core-collapse massive stars and Gamma Ray Bursts.

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 ...
