This award will provide partial support for a conference on the evolution of massive stars. The conference will concentrate on the problem of eruptive events in these stars, which often appear in surveys for supernovae even though they do not represent the explosive end phase of a massive star. The conference will bring together astronomers, theorists and observers, studying the final stages of massive star evolution, their instabilities, supernovae and their progenitors, and the outcomes of the final eruptions. The meeting will be structured to encourage discussion and communication among the participants and to stimulate theoretical work and new observations that will address many of these questions. For broader dissemination, the organizers will post the review talks, posters and a transcription of the discussion on the workshop web pages.

该奖项将为大型明星演变的会议提供部分支持。 该会议将集中在这些恒星中发生爆发事件的问题，这些恒星通常会出现在超新星的调查中，即使它们并不代表巨大的恒星的爆炸性末端阶段。 会议将汇集天文学家，理论家和观察者，研究大规模恒星进化，他们的不稳定性，超新星及其祖细胞的最后阶段，以及最终爆发的结果。 会议的结构是鼓励参与者之间的讨论和沟通，并刺激理论工作和新的观察结果，以解决许多此类问题。为了进行更广泛的传播，组织者将在研讨会网页上发布评论演讲，海报和讨论的转录。
