Produktbeschreibung

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.
