摘要：
The results of new grids of models of massive stars with metallicities Z = 0.002, 0.005, 0.020 and 0.040 and mass loss rates depending on Z are shown. When integrated over the mass spectrum, the models enable us to predict number ratios, such as WR/O, WC/WN, WNE/WR, WNL/WR, WCE/WR, WCL/WR, WO/WR as a function of Z in galaxies. Comparisons between models and observations in galaxies are made and show, as was suggested by Maeder, Lequeux and Azzopardi (1980), that the effects of metallicity on the mass loss rates are the prime agent responsible for the different distributions of massive stars in galaxies.
