| Abstract |
Our Working Group (WG) studies massive, luminous stars, both
individually and in resolved and unresolved populations, with historical
focus on early-type (OB) stars, A-supergiants, and Wolf-Rayet stars. Our
group also studies lower mass stars (e.g., central stars of planetary
nebulae and their winds) which display features similar or related to
those present in massive stars, and thus may improve our understanding
of the physical processes occurring in massive stars. In recent years,
massive red supergiants that evolve from hot stars have been included
into our activities as well. We emphasize the role of massive stars in
other branches of astrophysics, particularly regarding the First Stars,
long duration Gamma-Ray bursts, formation of massive stars and their
feedback on star formation in general, pulsations of massive stars, and
starburst galaxies. |
