Masses and luminosities of O- and B-type stars and red supergiants

Neuhäuser, R.; Hohle, M. M.; Schutz, B. F.

Massive stars are of interest as progenitors of supernovae, i.e. neutron stars and black holes, which can be sources of gravitational waves. Recent population synthesis models can predict neutron star and gravitational wave observations but deal with a fixed supernova rate or an assumed initial mass function for the population of massive stars.
