Open clusters and associations represent the natural laboratories to study their evolution. In this review, I will present a personal selection of current research topics that highlight the use of open clusters to constrain different properties of high-mass stars, such as the possible existence of an upper limit for the mass of a star, the evolutionary stage of blue supergiants or the characterisation of supernova progenitors.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-09-12T22:10:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high-mass stars", "open clusters", "current research topics", "evolutionary stage", "supernova progenitors" ], "tags": [ "review article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 927296, "adsabs": "2011sca..conf..167N" } } }
