Description

This conference is dedicated to Riccardo Cesaroni, whose groundbreaking contributions have profoundly shaped our understanding of the formation and early evolution of massive stars. From his seminal work on masers and hot molecular cores to his leadership in high-resolution studies of protostellar disks, Riccardo has been at the forefront of unveiling the complex physical processes that give birth to the most massive stars in the universe.
 

We gather to celebrate not only his scientific achievements, but also his enduring impact on the community — as a mentor, collaborator, and friend.
