    Massive stars in extremely metal-poor galaxies: a window into the past
    Cosmic history has witnessed the lives and deaths of multiple generations of massive stars, all of them invigorating their host galaxies with ionizing photons...

    Massive stars in the hinterland of the young cluster, Westerlund 2
    An unsettled question concerning the formation and distribution of massive stars is whether they must be born in massive clusters and, if found in less dense...

    Massive stars in the local universe
    Massive stars are key agents in the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Universe. Not only for millions of years do they continously deliver radiative and...

    Massive Stars in the SDSS-IV/APOGEE SURVEY. I. OB Stars
    In this work, we make use of DR14 APOGEE spectroscopic data to study a sample of 92 known OB stars. We developed a near-infrared semi-empirical spectral...

    Massive Stars in the SDSS-IV/APOGEE-2 Survey. II. OB-stars in the W345 Complexes
    In this work, we have applied a semi-empirical spectral classification method for OB-stars using the APOGEE spectrograph to a sample of candidates in the W3–W4...
