Description
We correct the estimates of the dispersions in the rotational velocities
for early-type stars in our Galaxy (Dufton et al. 2006, A&A, 457,
265) and the Magellanic Clouds (Hunter et al. 2008, A&A, 479, 541).
The corrected values are π1/4 (i.e. approximately 33%)
larger than those published in the original papers.

Physical properties and evolution of Massive Stars
This project aims at the searching, observation and analysis of massive stars in nearby galaxies to provide a solid empirical ground to understand their physical properties as a function of those key parameters that gobern their evolution (i.e. mass, spin, metallicity, mass loss, and binary interaction). Massive stars are central objects to
