Scientific paper

Using computed evolutionary tracks of massive stars, including mass loss and overshooting, and observed HR-diagrams (Humphreys and McElroy, 1984) the mass loss by stellar wind for stars in the Galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud are compared. It is found that the mass loss rates in the LMC and the SMC are, respectively, 87 percent and 76 percent of the mass loss rate in the Galaxy. The results of evolutionary computations for the different galaxies are presented, and the formation of Wolf-Rayet stars is discussed.
