We present highlights of our study of the infrared properties of massive stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (from Bonanos et al. 2009, 2010), which are based on the Spitzer SAGE surveys of these galaxies. We have compiled catalogs of spectroscopically confirmed massive stars in each galaxy, as well as photometric catalogs for a subset of these stars that have infrared counterparts in the SAGE database, with uniform photometry from 0.3 to 24 О?m in the UBVIJHKs+IRAC+MIPS24 bands. ...

... By taking advantage of atomic hydrogen (HI) observations obtained as part of the GALEX Arecibo SDSS and ALFALFA surveys, I will demonstrate that the combination of deep, targeted observations and spectral stacking of blind, large-area shallow surveys is critical in order to characterize how the gas content of galaxies depends on their structure, star formation activity and environment. ...

... The nebular spectra of SNeIa can be used to determine the mass, density, and distribution of the SN ejecta, and the distance and reddening to the SN. Synthetic spectra can very rapidly be computed in NLTE and compared to the observed ones. Given the relatively large number of parameters, it is convenient to explore the parameter space in an automated form. The nebular spectrum synthesis code can be run in parallel on a workstation cluster. ...
