Massive stars, those more than eight times the mass of our Sun, are rare – yet they have a profound impact on their surroundings. They shape and drive the dynamics of gas within star-forming galaxies and forge many of the elements essential to life.
In this talk, we’ll explore how astronomers use large-scale numerical simulations and advancing supercomputing power to model their formation and feedback, and how these tools are helping us better understand their role in the universe.
