We present the results of a study aimed at assessing whether low and high-mass stars form similarly. Our approach is (1) to examine the observed projected rotational velocities...

Observations of the narrow-lined O-type star 10 Lacertae taken with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph in 1992 November are presented. The spectra cover the wavelength...

Rapidly rotating classical OBe stars have been proposed as the products of binary interactions, and the fraction of Be stars with compact companions implies that at least some...

We use Gaia DR3 astrometry and photometry to analyze the spatial distribution of the young stellar populations and stellar clusters, and to search for new OB star candidates in...

We determined the projected rotational velocity (vsini) of 238 southern O stars selected from the Galactic O-star Survey. The sample contains 130 spectroscopic single stars (C),...

The XShootU project aims to obtain ground-based optical to near-infrared spectroscopy of all targets observed by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) under the Director's...

Delta Orionis is the closest massive multiple stellar system and one of the brightest members of the Orion OB association. The primary (Aa1) is a unique evolved O star. In this...

The empirical distribution of projected rotational velocities (vsini) in massive O-type stars is characterized by a dominant slow velocity component and a tail of fast rotators....

Stellar rotation is of key importance for the formation process, evolution, and final fate of massive stars. Performing a reassessment of the empirical rotational properties of...

The star cluster R136 inside the Large Magellanic Cloud hosts a rich population of massive stars, including the most massive stars known. The strong stellar winds of these very...

The Carina Nebula Complex (CNC) is one of the most massive and active star forming regions in our Galaxy and contains several large young star clusters. The distances of the...

Most massive stars belong to multiple systems, yet the formation process leading to such high multiplicity remain insufficiently understood. To help constrain the different...

Massive stars are a key element to understand the chemical and dynamical evolution of galaxies. Stellar evolution is conditioned by many factors: rotation, mass loss, and...

The Carina Nebula harbors a large population of high-mass stars, including at least 75 O-type and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, but the current census is not complete since further...

Cygnus OB2 provides a unique insight into the high-mass stellar content in one of the largest groups of young massive stars in our Galaxy. Although several studies of its...

The apparent lack of massive O-type stars near the Zero Age Main Sequence, or ZAMS, (at ages <2Myr) has been a topic widely discussed in the last 40 years. Different...

As a building block for amino acids, formamide (NH_2_CHO) is an important molecule in astrobiology and astrochemistry, but its formation path in the interstellar medium is not...

Multiplicity in massive stars is a key element to understand the chemical and dynamical evolution of galaxies. Among massive stars, those of O type play a crucial role due to...

The X-ray emission of O-type stars was first discovered in the early days of the Einstein satellite. Since then many different surveys have confirmed that the ratio of X-ray to...

We present results of the analysis of a sample of 22 stars of spectral types from O7 to B5 and luminosity classes I-V for which spectra from the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) of...
