Five Researchers from ASU participated at the DPG Spring Meeting of the Matter and Cosmos Section (SMuK) that took place in the period 31 March - 4 April 2025 at the University of Göttingen, Germany. In the frame of this conference, the Extraterrestrial Physics Division organized splinter meetings on solar and heliospheric physics, near-Earth space, planets and small bodies, exoplanets and astrobiology, and astrophysics.

Within the latter, that was organized and chaired by Michaela Kraus, they presented 3 contributed talks (Olga Maryeva - "Newly discovered nebulae around Galactic B-type stars and their origins", Dieter Nickeler - "On the existence and (non-)uniqueness of null points of flows and magnetic fields as prerequisites for the existence of astropauses", Kuljeet Singh Saddal - "3D Resistive MHD Perspectives on the Localized Dynamics at the Apex of an Astropause") and 4 posters (Michaela Kraus - "OCEANS - Overcoming challenges in the evolution and nature of massive stars", "Near-infrared characterization of evolved massive stars in M31 and M33", Olga Maryeva - "Revealing the pulsation-induced mass loss of blue supergiants and its interplay with the interstellar medium", Julieta Sanchez Arias - "Stochastic high frequencies in massive stars").

This conference was attended by about 1700 researchers from various fields, which offered the opportunity to present OCEANS, recent progress and research results, and to discuss with astrophysicists and physicists from different disciplines.
