We present a database of 45,000 atmospheric models (which will become 80,000 models by the end of the project) with stellar masses between 9 and 120 M$_{\odot}$, covering the region of the OB main sequence and W-R stars in the H-R diagram.…

Evolutionary models of massive stars are quasi-exclusively computed using an Eddington gray atmosphere. This approximation does not accurately describe the complex physical phenomena occurring in the atmosphere of massive stars. We aim to…

Convection is an important phenomenon in the atmospheres of A-type and cooler stars. A description of convection in ATLAS models is presented, together with details of how it is specified in model calculations. The effects of changing the…

Mass loss from massive stars located in the part of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD) where we find luminous blue variables (LBVs) is profoundly important for stellar evolution yet poorly understood. We use time-dependent…

The evolution of massive stars is the basis of several astrophysical investigations, from predicting gravitational-wave event rates to studying star-formation and stellar populations in clusters. However, uncertainties in massive star…

Photospheric radiation momentum is efficiently transferred by absorption through metal lines to the gaseous matter in the atmospheres of massive stars, sustaining strong winds and mass loss rates. Not only is this critical for the evolution…

The most massive stars dominate the chemical enrichment, mechanical and radiative feedback, and energy budget of their host environments. Yet how massive stars initially form and how they evolve throughout their lives is ambiguous. The mass…

Winds arising from galaxies, star clusters, and active galactic nuclei are crucial players in star and galaxy formation, but it has proven remarkably difficult to use observations of them to determine physical properties of interest,…

Context. Radiation-driven mass loss is key to our understanding of massive-star evolution. However, for low-luminosity O-type stars there are big discrepancies between theoretically predicted and empirically derived mass-loss rates (called…

Stellar evolution codes play a major role in present-day astrophysics, yet they share common simplifications related to the outer layers of stars. We seek to improve on this by the use of results from realistic and highly detailed 3D…
