Massive runaway and walkaway stars [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 We perform an extensive numerical study of the evolution of massive binary systems to predict the peculiar velocities that stars obtain when their companion collapses and disrupts the system.

Developments in Physics of Massive Stars [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007 AbstractNew constraints on stellar models are provided by large surveys of massive stars, interferometric observations and asteroseismology. After a review of the main results so far obtained, we present new results from rotating models and discuss comparisons with observed features. We conclude that rotation is a key feature of massive star physics.

First HARPSpol discoveries of magnetic fields in massive stars [PDF]
, 2011 In the framework of the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project, a HARPSpol Large Program at the 3.6m-ESO telescope has recently started to collect high-resolution spectropolarimetric data of a large number of Southern massive OB stars in the field of

Gravoturbulent Star Formation: Effects of the Equation of State on Stellar Masses [PDF]
, 2005 Stars form by gravoturbulent fragmentation of interstellar gas clouds. The supersonic turbulence ubiquitously observed in Galactic molecular gas generates strong density fluctuations with gravity taking over in the densest and most massive regions ...

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.

High-velocity runaway stars from three-body encounters [PDF]
, 2009 We performed numerical simulations of dynamical encounters between hard massive binaries and a very massive star (VMS; formed through runaway mergers of ordinary stars in the dense core of a young massive star cluster), in order to explore the hypothesis

The MiMeS survey of Magnetism in Massive Stars : magnetic analysis of the O-type stars [PDF]
, 2016 We present the analysis performed on spectropolarimetric data of 97 O-type targets included in the framework of the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) Survey. Mean least-squares deconvolved Stokes I and V line profiles were extracted for each observation,

Evolution of Massive Population III Stars
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2014 While the evolution of massive stars in the local Universe is dominated by mass-loss, the evolution of massive Population III stars should be dominated by rotation.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The young massive OB association Cygnus OB2, in the Cygnus X complex, is the closest (∼1400 pc) star-forming region to the Sun hosting thousands of young low-mass stars and up to 1000 OB stars, among which are some of the most massive stars known in our ...

Observations of magnetic fields in hot stars [PDF]
, 2010 The presence of magnetic fields at the surfaces of many massive stars has been suspected for decades, to explain the observed properties and activity of OB stars. However, very few genuine high-mass stars had been identified as magnetic before the advent
