ESA Science & Technology - Massive Stars - Fundamental parameters and circumstellar interactions

Start date: 11 Dec 2006
Address: Hotel Marcin, Cariló, Argentina

Massive stars, though relatively few in number and short-lived, outshine all of their numerous less massive neighbors and rule their environments, from the onset of their strong stellar winds to their deaths in core-collapse supernova explosions. In this conference, we aim to review and discuss all present knowledge about massive stars, with a view toward the coordination of efforts to advance our understanding of this important subject.
