Scientific paper

A catalog of massive (⩾10 M &sun;) stars in binary and multiple systems with well-known masses and luminosities has been compiled. The catalog is analyzed using a theoretical mass-luminosity relation. This relation allows both normal main-sequence stars and stars with peculiarities: with clear manifestations of mass transfer, mass accretion, and axial rotation, to be identified. Least-squares fitting of the observational data in the range of stellar masses 10M &sun; ⩽ M ≲ 50 M &sun; yields the relation L ˜ M 2.76.
