The company conducts research on the birth, life, and death of stars, examining their composition, distribution, and evolution within galaxies. They use computer models to study the formation of stars from collapsing gas and dust clouds, and explore the characteristics and behavior of different types of stars, including main sequence stars and hypergiants. The company also investigates the fate of stars as they age, including the transformation into red giants and the eventual pulsation and shedding of outer layers.
