| Abstract | The final stages in the evolution of the most massive stars play a crucial role in astrophysics, injecting energy and enriched metals into the interstellar medium, and producing compact objects – neutron stars, black holes, and the wide range of transient phenomena associated with them. The predictive power of theoretical models for massive stars, however, is severely limited by the large uncertainties associated with this regime of stellar evolution. The project will constrain some of the most |
