*Physics of Extreme Massive Stars conference*

*Dates: *24/06/2024-28/06/2024

*Location: *Observatório Nacional, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

*Description:*

Massive stars are extreme cosmic engines, enriching their environments with
chemically processed material throughout their entire life-time, and
triggering star and planet formation. Despite their importance to cosmic
evolution, the evolutionary path leading up to the death of massive stars
as spectacular supernova explosions or to the formation of gravitational
wave sources are most uncertain. One reason is certainly the lack of
precise knowledge of the physical mechanisms behind mass-loss and eruptions.

The goal of the Physics of Extreme Massive Stars conference is to bring
together scientists working in a range of subjects related to massive star
research. It is the final conference of the European funded POEMS
collaboration. It will address the processes that trigger mass loss in
massive stars during extreme phases of their evolution, the study of the
environments of massive stars on small and large scales and their binarity.
During the past decade new cutting-edge numerical codes have been developed
and used to compute grids of models describing the chemical and dynamical
evolution of stars and their winds. At the same time, an avalanche of new
data from different observatories using a diversity of observational
techniques (both from satellite missions and from ground-based facilities)
has been provided to the astronomical community leading to ground-breaking
discoveries.

The main topics of the conference include:

– Winds of massive stars
– Fundamental parameters, chemical composition, and stellar classification
– Stellar pulsations and pulsation-triggered mass-loss
– Circumstellar environments of massive stars
– Evolution of massive stars and their transition phases
– Binarity in massive stars
– The final fate of massive stars
– Databases and their applications for massive star research.

The format of the conference will be a series of invited talks, contributed
talks, and poster presentations. We have the following confirmed invited
speakers: Alex Carciofi (Brazil), Lydia Cidale (Argentina), Yanina Cochetti
(Argentina), Michel Curé (Chile), Michalis Kourniotis (Czech Republic),
Alex Lobel (Belgium), Olga Maryeva (Czech Republic), René Oudmaijer (UK),
and Andreas Sander (Germany).

The registration will open on January 15th 2024.

Looking forward to welcoming you at our conference in Rio de Janeiro!
