Abstract
We present an overview of a few spectroscopic diagnostics of massive stars. We explore the following wavelength ranges: UV (1000 to 2000 Å), optical (4000–7000 Å) and near–infrared (mainly H and K bands). The diagnostics we highlight are available in O and Wolf–Rayet stars as well as in B supergiants. We focus on the following parameters: effective temperature, gravity, surface abundances, luminosity, mass loss rate, terminal velocity, wind clumping, rotation/macroturbulence and surface magnetic field.
