That was another great opportunity for our PhD students to communicate their results and receive valuable feedback from some of the world experts in the field. In particular Gonzalo (Munoz-Sanchez) presented “Episodic mass loss …
During the XXXII IAU General Assembly in South Africa the Focus Meeting 4: Bridging the final stages of massive stars to supernovae and transients (13-14 August 2024) had two contributions form the ASSESS team. Alceste was invited to provide an overview for variability in massive stars, while Kostas had a …
The International Conference on the Physics of Extreme Massive Stars took place on June 24-28 (2024) in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. That was a great opportunity for our PhD students Gonzalo and Evangelia to present some of our most recent results in an international conference focused on topics such …
Between 9 – 15 of June (2024) the ASSESS team was in Crete to help with the materialization of the third iteration of Supernova Remnants conference, which becomes probably the most important point of reference for this particular field. However, it also intersects with ours since our targets of interest …
