Lives and Death-Throes of Massive Stars (Iau S329) - Colloqui

IAU Symposium 329 covers all aspects of massive stars, their birth, evolution and death, for researchers across astrophysics.

List of contents

Theory of stellar evolution and atmospheres; 5. Massive stars and their supernovae as galactic building blocks and engines; 6. Summary; 7. Splinter session: X-ray observations of massive stars; Posters.

Summary

IAU Symposium 329 covers the impact of massive stars, which is felt across many areas of astrophysics, as they are tools to interpret the conditions and processes in different environments. In parallel, new observational data help constrain our theoretical models of massive star birth, evolution and death.
