Abstract
We present ground-based spectra of early-type star candidates in the Local Group galaxies M 33 and NGC 6822 taken at the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope (La Palma, Spain). Photospheric parameters $T_{\rm eff}$ and $\log g$ were derived by LTE modeling of the Balmer lines. When possible, mass-loss rates were calculated from the H $_{\alpha}$ profiles computing emission and scattering in the wind with the method of Scuderi et al. (1992). Five hot star candidates were found in M 33, out of seven stars analyzed, and two out of three in NGC 6822.


Key words: galaxies: individual: M 33, NGC 6822 -- stars: early type -- stars: fundamental parameters -- stars: atmospheres -- stars: mass loss

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
