Challenging the theoretically predicted mass-loss rate increase of blue supergiants in the bi-stability region of the stellar winds
The properties of blue supergiants are key for constraining the end of the main sequence phase, a phase during which massive stars spend most of their lifetimes...
Characterization of the host galaxy from gamma-ray blazars
The most extreme electromagnetic radiation that can be observed is known as very high energy gamma rays (VHE, E>100 GeV). It is the last window open to the...
