MC OB stars CMFGEN grids of atmosphere models
Large spectroscopic surveys of individual massive stars, such as ULLYSES and XSHOOTU, provide observational data for hundreds of massive stars. Their analysis requires large... -
Spectral types of OB stars <200Myr from Gaia DR3
The structure and evolution of the spiral arms of the Milky Way have long been an important yet controversial issue. The wide age range of OB-type stars, coupled with the large... -
OB stars and associations in Auriga
OB associations are important probes of recent star formation and Galactic structure. In this study, we focus on the Auriga constellation, an important region of star formation... -
+150 OB stars in Sextans A
Local Group (LG) very metal-poor massive stars are the best proxy for the First Stars of the Universe and fundamental to modelling the evolution of early galaxies. These stars... -
Large-scale expansion of OB stars in Cygnus
The proper motions (PMs) of OB stars in Cygnus have recently been found to exhibit two large-scale kinematic patterns suggestive of expansion. We perform a 3D traceback on these... -
OB stars in Carina Arm
In large-scale maps of the Galactic disc, the Carina Arm stands out as a clear spiral feature, hosting prominent star clusters and associations rich in massive stars. We study... -
Cygnus OB2 Complex survey with Subaru HSC
Low-mass star formation inside massive clusters is crucial to understand the effect of cluster environment on processes like circumstellar disc evolution, planet, and brown... -
Revisiting the Cygnus OB associations
OB associations play an important role in Galactic evolution, though their origins and dynamics remain poorly studied, with only a small number of systems analysed in detail. In... -
Does magnetized OB stars produce magnetars ?
Stars of spectral types O and B produce neutron stars (NSs) after supernova explosions. Most of NSs are strongly magnetized including normal radio pulsars with B {prop.to} 1012... -
The Alma catalogue of OB stars - II.
We cross-match the Alma catalogue of OB stars with Gaia DR2 astrometry and photometry as a first step towards producing a clean sample of massive stars in the solar... -
Gaia view of Cygnus OB2 and Carina OB1 associations
OB associations are the prime star-forming sites in galaxies. However, the detailed formation process of such stellar systems still remains a mystery. In this context,... -
Spiral structure as revealed by O and B stars
We investigate the morphology and kinematics of the Galactic spiral structure based on a new sample of O- and early B-type stars. We select 6858 highly confident OB star... -
OB association members
It is often stated that star clusters are the fundamental units of star formation and that most (if not all) stars form in dense stellar clusters. In this monolithic formation... -
New OB star candidates in Carina Arm
O and early B stars are at the apex of galactic ecology, but in the Milky Way, only a minority of them may yet have been identified. We present the results of a pilot study to... -
XMM view of NGC 6231: OB stars
In this second paper of the series, we focus on the X-ray properties of the OB star population of NGC 6231. As a tool for our analysis, we performed a literature-based census of... -
Rotational Velocities of 373 OB stars
We present a catalogue of homogeneous measures of the linewidth parameter, v_e_.sin(i), for 373 O-type stars and early supergiants (including the separate components of 25... -
Interstellar extinction curves of OB stars
The paper presents a collection of 436 extinction curves covering the whole available range of wavelengths from satellite UV to near-IR. The data were taken from the ANS... -
MC massive stars IMF. I.
UBV CCD photometry has been obtained for 14 OB associations in the Magellanic Clouds using the University of Toronto's 0.6m telescope and the Carnegie Institution of... -
Masses of OB-type stars from LAMOST DR5
The measurements of masses and luminosities of massive stars play an important role in understanding the formation and evolution of their host galaxies. In this work, we present... -
Kinematics of young open clusters & O-B2-type stars
Using young open clusters and O-B2-type stars in Gaia Data Release 3, we investigate the kinematics of the local spiral structure. In general, the young sources in the outer...
