Abstract
Different groups of luminous stars such as the Of stars and the Hubble-Sandage variables are discussed with emphasis on their evolutionary characteristics. Using model computations, constraints are obtained on masses and timescales for the formation of the different objects. All models are computed with the Roxburgh criterion for convection, resulting in larger convective cores. Mass loss was applied in different phases, according to the observed mass-loss rates.
