PublicationThe empirical metallicity dependence of the mass-loss rate of O- and early B-type stars
We present a comprehensive study of the observational dependence of the mass-loss rate in stationary stellar winds of hot massive stars on the metal content of...

TalkThe evolution of massive contact binaries: model predictions for the Magellanic Clouds and the Milky Way
The majority of massive stars are born in close binary systems with orbital periods of a few days. At some point during their core-hydrogen burning phase, both...

TalkThe fate of ionizing radiation from massive stars in star-forming galaxies
The fate of ionizing radiation from massive stars has fundamental consequences on scales ranging from the physics of circumstellar disks to the ionization state...

PublicationThe homogeneity of chemical abundances in H II regions of the Magellanic Clouds
We use very deep spectra obtained with the Ultraviolet-Visual Echelle Spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope to derive physical conditions and chemical...

PublicationThe Large Magellanic Cloud stellar content with SMASH. I. Assessing the stability of the Magellanic spiral arms
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the closest and most studied example of an irregular galaxy. Among its principal defining morphological features, its off...

PublicationThe Lazy Giants: APOGEE Abundances Reveal Low Star Formation Efficiencies in the Magellanic Clouds
We report the first APOGEE metallicities and α-element abundances measured for 3600 red giant stars spanning a large radial range of both the Large (LMC) and...

PublicationThe Magellanic Clouds as a Template for the Study of Stellar Populations and Galaxy Interactions
The Magellanic System represents one of the best places to study the formation and evolution of galaxies. Photometric surveys of various depths, areas and...
