The galaxy NGC 1313 is a late-type (almost Magellanic) barred spiral located midway between the Magellanic Clouds but at a distance of about 4.5 Mpc (de Vaucouleurs 1963). A comprehensive imaging and spectrophotometry program has been carried out in order to investigate the peculiar kinematics of NGC 1313 (Marcelin and Athanassoula 1982), as well as to study the relationships between the formation of massive stars and light element chemical abundances in spiral galaxies.
