Turbulent and Explosive Lives of Massive Stars
Stars are the basic building blocks of the visible Universe. Understanding how they transformed the pristine Universe into the one we live in today is at the heart of astrophysical research and vital for many areas in astrophysics. Massive stars in particular are cosmic powerhouses because of their radiative, mechanical and chemical feedback from stellar winds and supernova explosions. Thanks to new telescopes and observatories, massive star research is entering a golden era, as exemplified by transient surveys and the dawn of gravitational wave astronomy. Yet, our understanding of the lives and final fates of massive stars is seriously incomplete. Binary stars are of particular importance…
