AbstractThe past decade has witnessed impressive progress in our understanding of the physical properties of massive stars in the Magellanic Clouds, and how they compare to their cousins in the Galaxy. I summarise new results in this field, including evidence for reduced mass-loss rates and faster stellar rotational velocities in the Clouds, and their present-day compositions. I also discuss the stellar temperature scale, emphasizing its dependence on metallicity across the entire upper-part of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.

The Continuum

An absolute spectrophotometric calibration of Vega and eleven other standard stars was completed by the author in 1967. This calibration extends from 3200 to 10870 Å, and therefore gives a useful calibration of the Paschen discontinuity as well as the Balmer discontinuity, for which calibrations have been available for some time.The measured values of the ratio of the size of the Paschen discontinuity to the size of the Balmer discontinuity have been compared with corresponding values predicted by model atmospheres. The comparison shows that LTE models satisfactorily predict the continuum in the wavelength range given above.A stellar temperature scale has been determined by fitting the measured sizes of the Balmer discontinuity of 43 stars to blanketed model atmospheres. This temperature scale agrees very well with Morton's modified form of the Morton-Adams temperature scale for all except the latest B-stars, for which higher temperatures are predicted.

The current situation for the measurement of effective temperatures from interferometrically determined angular diameters and spectrophometry in the UV, visible and IR is considered. Accuracies and reliabilities of the resulting temperatures are assessed and coverage of stellar types is discussed.

Early Type Stars

This paper reports on preliminary analysis of spectral scans of early-type stars obtained with the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory. The discussion is confined to the spectra of 50 stars observed with a resolution of approximately 10 Å over the spectral interval from 1050 Å to 2000 Å. Following a qualitative description of the spectra, observed equivalent widths of the Siiv (1400 Å) and Civ (1550 Å) lines are compared with model atmosphere calculations. The results suggest an upward revision of the stellar temperature scale for stars earlier than B3 V.

Stellar Temperatures

The first determination of the surface temperature of stars other than the Sun is due to the Hungarian astrophysicist Béla Harkányi. Prompted by the recent unprecedented increase in the availability of stellar temperature estimates from Gaia, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of Harkányi’s birth, this article presents the life and work of this neglected, yet remarkable figure in the context of the history of stellar astrophysics.
