Massive Stars in the Local Group: Star Formation and Stellar Evolution
arXiv:astro-ph/0307531
Abstract
The galaxies of the Local Group that are currently forming stars can serve as our laboratories for understanding star formation and the evolution of massive stars. In this talk I will summarize what I think we've learned about these topics over the past few decades of research, and briefly mention what I think needs to happen next.
