ABSTRACT:


Understanding the life of massive stars and their evolution after stellar
death is a challenging multi-disciplinary research activity which brings
together observational, experimental, theoretical, and computational
researchers. The stellar systems which they attempt to model are extremely
complex and involve physical processes which operate over enormous
temperature and density scales, which, on Earth, can only be produced in
the powerful particle accelerators. The focus of this talk will be on three
types of "dead" stars - white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes.
Galaxies such as the Milky Way are filled with hundreds of millions of such
objects. They possess most unusual properties which carry information about
the fundamental building blocks of matter, the fundamental forces of
nature, and even of the structure of space-time itself. Combined with the
unprecedented advances in observational astronomy, this makes "dead" stars
superb astrophysical laboratories for a broad range of fascinating
physical/computational studies, as discussed in this talk.
