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.

Supernovae from Massive Stars [PDF]
, 2017 Massive stars, by which we mean those stars exploding as core collapse supernovae, play a pivotal role in the evolution of the Universe. Therefore, the un- derstanding of their evolution and explosion is fundamental in many branches of physics and ...

The Destructive Birth of Massive Stars and Massive Star Clusters [PDF]
, 2017 The injection of energy and momentum into the interstellar medium by young massive stars’ intense radiation fields and their fast, radiatively driven winds can have a profound influence on their formation and environment. Massive star forming regions are

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).

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 ...

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.

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.
