AbstractIn a quest to further our understanding of the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) as well as the unidentified carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), we are mapping DIBs across the sky using hundreds of hot stars as background torches – globular clusters (in particular ω Centauri), nearby stars in and around the Local Bubble, and stars within the Magellanic Clouds. I describe the results so far obtained and our current experiments.

We have studied with the SEI method (Sobolev approximation plus Exact Integration of the transfer equation) seven hot stars, five belonging to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and two to the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), which have been observed with IUE in high resolution. We present preliminary results of the work, i.e. the terminal velocities and the optical depth of the P Cygni profile. An evaluation of qiM has been done, as well as a comparison with previous work.

We have generated far-UV stellar libraries using spectra of hot stars in the Galaxy and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. These libraries were implemented into the stellar population synthesis codes starburst99 and lavalsb and used to compute synthetic spectra of star-forming galaxies. Model spectra for galaxies are presented and variations of the hot star photospheric and wind profiles are discussed. This poster summarizes the work of Robert et al. (2002).

Three new ultraviolet spectral libraries of massive, hot stars using high and medium resolution spectra of objects located in the solar neighbourhood and the Magellanic Clouds are presented. Massive stars display unique wind signatures which are relatively easy to study in the ultraviolet. These libraries are crucial tools when investigating the massive stellar population of distant star-forming galaxies.

The Magellanic Clouds provide a unique laboratory in which to study the metallicity dependence of stellar winds. If proved by observations, such a dependence would have important consequences for stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis, energy balance of the ISM, star formation and so on. In addition, the diagnostics of emitting gaseous nebulae in metal-poor galaxies would be affected, since the photospheric ionizing radiation of massive hot stars is modified by metal absorption in the surrounding stellar winds (see recent review by Kudritzki et al. 1990). Moreover, the method of using mass-loss rates M and terminal velocities vi, to determine stellar distances, radii and masses (Kudritzki & Hummer 1990) would need further modification.
