Scientific paper

Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are the chemical-ly evolved descendents of O stars, such that they trace massive star formation. Here we present results of recent VLT/FORS surveys of WR stars in near- by spiral and irregular galaxies and consider individual WR stars as progenitors of Type Ib/c core-collapse supernovae. Young massive clusters hosting large WR populations may be used as templates for high-redshift Lyman break galaxies.
