Death of Massive Stars (Iau S279) - Supernovae and Gamma-Ray Bursts

Klappentext IAU S279 brings together international leaders to discuss the nature, life cycles and our observations of massive stars. Zusammenfassung Massive stars end their lives as supernovae! or in rarer instances! as gamma-ray bursts. Since much of the visible Universe is composed of the remains of these explosions! it is important to understand massive stars. IAU S279 addresses their nature! their life cycles and our observations of them. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Part I. Invited and Contributed Talks: 1. Massive stars and supernovae; 2.
