Call for submission for “The Lifecycle of Massive Stars”, an e-Book and Special Issue of the open access MDPI journal Universe.

We invite you to submit original work pertaining to any aspect of the physics of massive stars and their effect on the environment.

You’d be joining an exquisite group of scientists who have agreed to write reviews - Emma Beasor, Julia Bodensteiner, Vikram Dwarkadas Roberta Humphreys, Ralf Klessen, Eva Laplace, Anna McLeod, Raman Prinja, Sophie Rosu, Raffaella Schneider.

We encourage authors from under-represented communities to contribute and are keen to offer them our support.

Best wishes,
