| Review: | These are a collection of sixteen papers from The Space Telescope Science Institute Symposium held in Baltimore in May 2006. The Symposium aim was to capture all aspects involved in the astrophysics of current stars. Among others, there are papers on: High-mass star formation; Massive-star formation; The initial mass function in clusters; The binarity of Eta Carinae; Parameters and winds of hot massive stars; Unravelling the Galaxy to find the first stars; Optically observable zero-age main-sequence O stars; Metallicity-dependent Wolf–Rayet winds; Eruptive mass loss in very massive stars and Population III stars; From progenitor to afterlife; Pair-production supernovae; and Cosmic infrared background and Population III. |
