Massive stars with Pollux on LUVOIR
Abstract
Many open questions remain about massive stars, for example about their evolution, their wind, and their maximum mass at formation. These issues could be ideally adressed by the Pollux UV spectropolarimeter onboard LUVOIR. Here we present examples of the science themes that one could study with Pollux regarding massive stars.
