| Abstract |
We present new determinations of the H-R diagrams for luminous, hot stars in the LMC and the SMC. Using all available photometric and spectroscopic data, we discuss the conversion of the observed measurements to temperature and luminosity. The resulting H-R diagrams for normal stars confirm the upper luminosity limit, and also show an interesting ridge not noted before. |

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
