Mass loss from hot massive stars (2008, background): “It has been realized that massive starsare critical agents in galactic evolution, during both the present epoch as well asin the early Universe, and they are regarded as “cosmic engines” (Bresolin et al 2008).”
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap (2018, background): “The available measurements for intermediate-mass stars (B type main-sequence stars) show that some stars are well described by solid body rotation and some by differential rotation [121].”
