On the photometric variability of blue supergiants in NGC 300 and its impact on the Flux-weighted Gravity-Luminosity Relationship
Fabio Bresolin, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Wolfgang Gieren +3
We present a study of the photometric variability of spectroscopically confirmed supergiants in NGC 300, comprising 28 epochs extending over a period of five months. We find 15 cle…

Blue Supergiants as a Tool for Extragalactic Distances - Theoretical Concepts
Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Norbert Przybilla
Because of their enormous intrinsic brightness blue supergiants are ideal stellar objects to be studied spectroscopically as individuals in galaxies far beyond the Local Group. Qua…

Quantitative Spectroscopy of Supergiants
Norbert Przybilla
Blue supergiants of spectral types B and A are the visually brightest stars in spiral and irregular galaxies, with their most luminous members (at M_V=-10) outshining entire dwarf…
