PROAM Stellar Wind Workshop

17 May 2010

Convento da Arrábida - Lisbon, May 28 - 30, 2010

The ProAm campaign about WR140 and its periastron passage ended in March 2009. The data of our targets, including B and Oe stars collected during the campaign, are now being processed. In addition, a number of other campaigns worked on the WR 140 periastron passage. The workshop in Portugal is organized for the evaluation of this 1st international ProAm effort and for presenting the results. A major issue is the professional need for spectroscopic data which can be delivered by advanced amateurs. We want to discuss the results of our MONS campaign targets (WR, Oe and B stars), other campaigns, physics of stellar winds, potential future projects, their needs and hurdles as well as respective strategies for a successfull work in the field of massive stars and their winds.
