Astrophysicists Matteo Cantiello and Yan-Fei Jiang at KITP will use a supercomputer to explore the driving forces behind mass loss in massive stars. The pair have been awarded 120 million CPU hours over two years on the supercomputer Mira — the sixth-fastest computer in the world — through the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program, an initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science.
