Massive close binaries II

Abstract

In the present review we summarize direct and indirect evidence that the massive close binary frequency is very large. We then discuss the binary evolutionary processes and we present a general massive close binary evolutionary scheme. Finally, we highlight the importance of massive close binaries for population number synthesis and the chemical evolution of galaxies.
