Vink1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (277 p.)Astrophysics and Space Science Library,0067-0057 ;412Description based upon print version of record.3-319-09595-1 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Very Massive Stars Properties -- The formation of VMS. - Mass-loss mechanisms -- VMS structure and evolution -- Binary evolution -- The pre-explosion evolution and fate of VMS.This book presents the status of research on very massive stars in the Universe. While it has been claimed that stars with over 100 solar masses existed in the very early Universe, recent studies have also discussed the existence and deaths of stars up to 300 solar masses in the local Universe. This represents a paradigm shift for the stellar upper-mass limit, which may have major implications far beyond the field of stellar physics. The book comprises 7 chapters, which describe this discipline and provide sufficient background and introductory content for graduate (PhD) students and researchers from different branches of astronomy to be able to enter this exciting new field of very massive stars.Astrophysics and Space Science Library,0067-0057 ;412AstrophysicsObservations, AstronomicalAstronomyObservationsAstrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Astronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014Astrophysics.Observations, Astronomical.AstronomyObservations.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.523.8Vink Jorick Sedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300416203321Very Massive Stars in the Local Universe1773040UNINA
