A Detailed Spectroscopic Study of the WN6ha + O5 Colliding-wind Binary WR 25

Eric Gosset, Roberto Gamen, Laurent Mahy +3

Massive stars have a major impact on their environment in their host galaxy. Observational determinations of their physical parameters are required to better constrain evolutionary…

The Seventeenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Complete Release of MaNGA, MaStar and APOGEE-2 Data

Abdurro'uf, Katherine Accetta, Conny Aerts +337

This paper documents the seventeenth data release (DR17) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys; the fifth and final release from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). DR17 contains the complete…

Ori C as a medieval bully: a possible very recent ejection in the Trapezium

J. Maíz Apellániz, M. Pantaleoni González, R. H. Barbá

We use Gaia EDR3 astrometry to propose that a dynamical interaction between the multiple system Ori C and Ori F ejected the latter as a walkaway star ~1100 years ago (w…

Lucky spectroscopy, an equivalent technique to Lucky Imaging: II. Spatially-resolved intermediate-resolution blue-violet spectroscopy of 19 close massive binaries using the William Herschel Telescope

J. Maíz Apellániz, R. H. Barbá, C. Fariña +5

CONTEXT. Many massive stars have nearby companions whose presence hamper their characterization through spectroscopy. AIMS. We want to continue obtaining spatially resolved spectro…

The Villafranca catalog of Galactic OB groups: I. Systems with O2-O3.5 stars

J. Maíz Apellániz, P. Crespo Bellido, R. H. Barbá +2

CONTEXT. The GOSSS spectral classifications and Gaia data have significantly improved our ability to measure distances and determine memberships of stellar groups with OB stars. AI…

Variability of OB stars from TESS southern Sectors 1-13 and high-resolution IACOB and OWN spectroscopy

S. Burssens, S. Simón-Díaz, D. M. Bowman +6

Lack of high-precision long-term continuous photometric data for large samples of stars has prevented the large-scale exploration of pulsational variability in the OB star regime.…
