Luminous hot stars represent the extreme upper mass end of normal
stellar evolution. Before exploding as supernovae, they live out
their lives of a few million years with prodigious outputs of
radiation and stellar winds, dramatically affecting both their
evolution and environments. A detailed introduction to the topic,
this book connects the astrophysics of massive stars with the
extremes of galaxy evolution represented by starburst phenomena. A
thorough discussion of the physical and wind parameters of massive
stars is presented. HII galaxies, their connection to starburst
galaxies, and the contribution of starburst phenomena to galaxy
evolution through superwinds, are explored. The book concludes with
the wider cosmological implications, including Population III
stars, Lyman break galaxies and gamma-ray bursts, for each of which
massive stars are believed to play a crucial role. This book is
ideal for graduate students and researchers in astrophysics
interested in luminous hot stars and galaxy evolution.
