Description
We present the analysis of UV and optical spectra of M 33 early B-type
supergiants. Stellar parameters, metal abundances (Si, Mg, O and N) and
mass loss rates are derived from anlyses of optical spectra by means of
non-LTE unblanketed unified model atmospheres (FASTWIND code,
Santolaya-Rey, Puls & Herrero 1997). These analyses use wind
terminal velocities previously derived from the analysis of UV P-Cygni
profiles. Stellar radial gradients of Si, O and Mg are derived for the M
33 disk. Differential abundances of those elements with respect to
Galactic counterparts are also presented, along with nitrogen. Finally,
the wind momenta of M 33 stars is derived and compared with the one
found for Galactic B-type supergiants.
