 -Díaz\, Sylvia Ekström\, Ashley Barnes\n\n\n\nMassive stars are essentia
 lly the driving force of the entire universe – in terms of energy\, mome
 ntum\, and baryonic cycling through galaxies – over cosmic time. Without
  them\, the present universe would simply not exist.\nDespite their import
 ance and the remarkable progress made by the Astrophysical community in un
 derstanding their physical properties and the interconnected processes tha
 t drive their end-to-end life cycle\, many critical questions remain open.
  This is a consequence of their complex formation process and subsequent e
 volution. In brief\, the whole end-to-end life-cycle of these extreme stel
 lar objects is known to be dominated by (1) their initial mass\, which is
  intimately linked to the star formation process\, (2) the large amount o
 f angular momentum remaining in the star once it has reached the Zero Age 
 Main Sequence\, and how this is shared between their cores and surfaces al
 ong their evolution\, (3) mass transfer processes occurring in the high p
 ercentage of stars of this type born in binary and multiple systems\, and
  (4) the strong -- sometimes steady\, sometimes eruptive – mass loss e
 vents driven by the interaction between the stellar radiation and the oute
 r layers of these stars. Overall\, this leads to a still not fully unders
 tood diversity of possible final fates (represented by a variety of core-c
 ollapse supernovae events) and end products (including isolated neutron st
 ars and black holes\, and binary systems comprising two of these stellar c
 orpses\, which can eventually lead to a gravitational wave event if they m
 erge).\n\n\n\nhttps://indico.ph.tum.de/event/8037/
