A dearth of young and bright massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Context. Massive star evolution at low metallicity is closely connected to many fields in high-redshift astrophysics, but is poorly understood so far. Because of its metallicity of ∼0.2 Z ⊙, its proximity, and because it is currently forming stars, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is a unique laboratory in which to study metal-poor massive stars
