Astronomy seminar - Quantitative spectroscopy of hot massive stars

We want to invite you for presentation by Dr. Brankica Kubátová "Quantitative spectroscopy of hot massive stars".

The chemical and structural evolution of galaxies is dominated by the evolution of massive hot stars by shaping their ambient interstellar medium by injecting large amount of energy and processed matter to it. Understanding these stars is thus a necessary prerequisite for understanding our universe.

In this talk I’ll present how to carry out a quantitative spectroscopic analysis in order to determine atmospheric (stellar and wind) parameters and chemical elemental surface abundances in hot massive stars.
