Monotonicity of the Cores of Massive Stars
Abstract Massive stars are linked to diverse astronomical processes and objects including star formation, supernovae and their remnants, cosmic rays, interstellar media, and galaxy evolution. Understanding their properties is of primary importance for modern astronomy, and finding simple rules that characterize them is especially useful.

Developments in Physics of Massive Stars [PDF]
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.

Massive star and star cluster formation [PDF]
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.

Nucleosynthesis of 60Fe in massive stars [PDF]
We discuss at some extent the production of Fe60 in massive stars in the range between 11 and 120 Msun both in the hydrostatic and explosive stages. We also compare the Fe60/Al26 gamma-ray line flux ratio obtained according to the present calculations to the detected value reported by INTEGRAL/SPI.

Massive stars in their death throes [PDF]
The study of the stars that explode as supernovae used to be a forensic study, working backwards from the remnants of the star. This changed in 1987 when the first progenitor star was identified in pre-explosion images. Currently, there are eight detected progenitors with another 21 non-detections, for which only a limit on the pre-explosion luminosity

Models for the formation of massive stars [PDF]
The formation of massive stars is currently an unsolved problems in astrophysics. Understanding the formation of massive stars is essential because they dominate the luminous, kinematic, and chemical output of stars. Furthermore, their feedback is likely to play a dominant role in the evolution of molecular clouds and any subsequent star formation ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Massive Stars in the Galactic Center [PDF]
AbstractWe present results of two studies aiming at better understanding the properties of massive stars in the Galactic Center. We focus on the youngest and oldest of the three massive clusters harboring this region, namely the Arches and central cluster.
