Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | Collaboration on mass loss and evolution of very massive stars |
| Organisation | Armagh Observatory and Planetarium |
| Department | Armagh Observatory |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | My contribution is modelling the evolution of very massive stars and training members of the research group of Dr Jorick Vink on the use of stellar evolution code GENEC. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Dr Jorick Vink and his group at Armagh Observatory are studying the impact of mass loss on the evolution of very massive stars. Together, we are studying the impact of these new models on the fate of very massive stars, e.g. black hole mass distribution, pair-instability supernovae. |
| Impact | Work in progress. Papers will be published in the future |
| Start Year | 2018 |
