Physics Of Extreme Massive Stars
Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA
Massive stars are extreme cosmic engines, enriching their environments with chemically processed material throughout their entire life-time, and triggering star and planet formation. Despite their importance for the cosmic evolution, their evolutionary path up to their deaths as spectacular supernova explosions is most uncertain due to the lack of precise knowledge of the physical mechanisms behind mass eruptions.
The aim of this workshop is to share and transfer knowledge and to discuss strategies for our joint collaboration projects. In particular, the functionality of diverse codes related to stellar evolution, stellar pulsations, stellar atmospheres and stellar winds will be introduced and discussed. Moreover, specific tools for data retrieval and analysis will be presented.
