Abstract

Before binary components interact, they evolve as single stars do. We therefore first critically discuss massive single star processes which affect their evolution, stellar wind mass loss and rotation in particular. Next we consider binary processes and focus on the effect of rotation on binary evolution and on the mass transfer during Roche lobe overflow. The third part highlights the importance of close pairs on the comprehension of the evolution of stellar populations in starburst regions.
