We present a preliminary analysis of HST images of the Local Group galaxy IC 10. IC 10 has an unusual Wolf-Rayet star population and is believed to be undergoing a starburst. Nevertheless, stars to at least 6.5 M⊙ are seen and the young star clusters are comparable in richness and spatial concentration to LMC populous clusters.

Type
Part 4. Wolf-Rayet stars and other hot massive stars in the Galactic Center and in Local Group giant H II regions (individual stars)
