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 …

Antoniadis, S. Athanasiou, G. Maravelias, M. Yang, E. Zapartas The ASSESS project aims to determine the role of episodic mass-loss …
Introducing the ASSESS project: Episodic Mass Loss in Evolved Massive Stars – Key to Understanding the Explosive Early Universe A.Z. Bonanos, G. Maravelias, M. Yang, F. Tramper, S. de Wit, E. Zapartas, K. Antoniadis, E. Christodoulou, G. Munoz-Sanchez Episodic mass loss is not understood theoretically, neither accounted for in state-of-the-art …
Environments of evolved massive stars: evidence for episodic mass ejections M. Kraus, L. S. Cidale, M. L. Arias, A. F. Torres, I. Kolka, G. Maravelias, D. H. Nickeler, W. Glatzel and T. Liimets The post-main sequence evolutionary path of massive stars comprises various transition phases, in which the stars shed …
