Scientific paper

A great deal of work has been done on the most massive main-sequence stars, the O stars, and their evolutionary descendants, the Wolf-Rayet stars. Not only do these stars influence their surroundings through mass loss and heating, the O stars are the only main-sequence objects that can be observed beyond the Magellanic Clouds. Variations in either their formation rate or in their initial mass function have important implications for the appearance of later evolutionary stages which include not only the Wolf-Rayet stars but also Hubble-Sandage variables, red supergiants, and supernovae.
