Luminous stars in M31.
Abstract
CCD photometry of several associations in M31 is presented. One may derive the sizes, determine the reddening, identify the youngest stars and discuss the luminosity functions from data such as these. A brief overview of the luminous stellar population in the Magellanic Clouds is also given.
