The star-forming galaxies of the Local Group act as our laboratories for testing massive star evolutionary models. In this review, I briefly summarize what we believe we know about massive star evolution, and the connection between OB stars, Luminous Blue Variables, yellow supergiants, red supergiants, and Wolf-Rayet stars. The difficulties and recent successes in identifying these various types of massive stars in the neighboring galaxies of the Local Group will be discussed.

  1. The IACOB project XVIII. Prevalence of short-period binaries among Galactic helium rich O-type stars

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In 45 O-type binaries, all seven helium-rich systems are short-period runaways, suggesting binary interaction is the main cause of helium enrichment.

  2. Giants, Supergiants and Hypergiants

    astro-ph.SR 2025-07 unverdicted

    A review chapter maps giant, supergiant, and hypergiant luminosity classes to stellar evolutionary pathways, from massive supernova progenitors to low-mass white dwarf precursors.
