Super-Massive Stars: Dense Star-Gas Systems
Abstract
We use a gaseous model and a semi-analytical approach to study the evolution of a super-massive central gaseous object (a super-massive star, {SMS} from now on) in an AGN and its evolution by interactions with the surrounding stellar system. Our future work in this field is outlined, which aims at a more detailed study of energy flows in the interstellar medium, stellar evolution and the relation between QSOs and galaxy formation.
