O- and B-type stars constitute valuable tools across many areas of astronomy. They are significant sources of stellar feedback, through which they enrich the interstellar medium in new chemical elements, but also contribute to and hinder the emergence of future generations of stars. Being short-lived, they tend to remain near their birth environment, and thereby are vital tracers of the...

The earliest known proto-globular clusters (GCs) detected with the James
Webb Space Telescope were compact (effective radii ~parsecs) and
extremely dense, ideal to harbour energetic massive stars and possibly
intermediate mass black holes. The detailed conditions and time-scales
of star formation and stellar feedback during the earliest stages of
galaxy assembly are however still unclear....
