The nearby galaxies of the Local Group can act as our laboratories in helping to bridge the gap between theory and observations. In this review, we will describe the complications of identifying samples of OB stars, yellow and red supergiants, and Wolf-Rayet stars, and what we have so far learned from these studies.This article is part of the themed issue 'Bridging the gap: from massive stars to supernovae'.
本星系群中的邻近星系可充当我们的实验室,有助于弥合理论与观测之间的差距。在这篇综述中,我们将描述识别OB星、黄超巨星和红超巨星以及沃尔夫-拉叶星样本时遇到的复杂情况,以及我们迄今从这些研究中学到的内容。本文是主题为“弥合差距:从大质量恒星到超新星”特刊的一部分。
