Description
We present the current status of our knowledge on the photospheric abundances of massive blue stars (with spectral types O-A) in the Milky Way and Local Group galaxies, and the implications of these for stellar and galactic structure and evolution. We also consider possible extensions of this project to observe individual stars in galaxies beyond the Local Group. Finally, we indicate how the VLT and a number of its instruments (mainly FORS, UVES and FLAMES/GIRAFFE) will help advance these studies.

    Performance of MAGIC stellar intensity interferometer and expansion to MAGIC + CTAO-LST1 stellar intensity interferometer
    A new generation of optical intensity interferometers are emerging in recent years taking advantage of the existing infrastructure of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). The MAGIC SII (Stellar Intensity Interferometer) in La Palma, Spain, has been operating since its first successful measurements in 2019 and its current design allows
