Project description
Uncovering the mass loss mechanisms in massive stars
Massive stars are cosmic engines that enable researchers to study the universe, from the solar neighbourhood to stars forming in distant galaxies. Despite their importance, their evolutionary stage – from their formation till their expansion and collapse remains unknown. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the POEMS project aims to establish a multidisciplinary international network of researchers from Europe, Asia and South America with expertise in a variety of fields. The ultimate goal is to shed further light on the processes that trigger mass loss in massive stars during the last evolution stages. The project will develop cutting-edge numerical codes to describe the chemical and dynamical evolution of stars, their winds and their large-scale environments.
