The fundamentals of massive star evolution are mostly understood, but the roles of mass loss, episodic mass loss, rotation, and binarity are still in question. Moreover, the final stages of these stars of different masses and their possible relation to each other are not understood. The purpose of this volume is to provide a current review of the different populations of evolved massive stars. The emphasis is on massive stars in the Local Group, the Magellanic Clouds, and the nearby spirals M31 and M33.Research & information: generalbicsscAstronomy, space & timebicsscResearch & information: generalAstronomy, space & timeHumphreys Roberta Medt1281269Humphreys Roberta MothBOOK9910557287203321Luminous Stars in Nearby Galaxies3018446UNINA
