  *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!
