How large spectroscopic surveys are shaping our understanding of massive stars
Abstract
We present an overview of the main characteristics of several spectroscopic surveys designed to advance our understanding of the physical properties and evolution of massive stars. We also summarize key results obtained from the analysis of these datasets, highlighting how the interpretation of some observables in the framework of massive-star evolution is considerably more complex than previously anticipated.
