A Catalog of New Spectroscopically Confirmed Massive OB Stars in Carina

Michael J. Alexander, Richard J. Hanes, Matthew S. Povich +1

The Carina star-forming region is one of the largest in the Galaxy, and its massive star population is still being unveiled. The large number of stars combined with high, and highl…

Predicting Gaia's Parallax Distance to the Cygnus OB2 Association with Eclipsing Binaries

Daniel C. Kiminki, Henry A. Kobulnicky, Carlos A. Vargas Álvarez +2

The Cygnus OB2 Association is one of the nearest and largest collections of massive stars in the Galaxy. Situated at the heart of the "Cygnus X" complex of star-forming regions and…

An updated gamma-ray analysis of the Be-BH binary HD~215227

Michael J. Alexander, M. Virginia McSwain

We report an updated analysis of the gamma-ray source AGL J2241+4454 that was detected as a brief two-day flare in 2010 by the AGILE satellite. The high-energy emission of AGL J224…

A Fresh Catch of Massive Binaries in the Cygnus OB2 Association

Henry A. Kobulnicky, Rachel A. Smullen, Daniel C. Kiminki +6

Massive binary stars may constitute a substantial fraction of progenitors to supernovae and gamma-ray bursts, and the distribution of their orbital characteristics holds clues to t…

Additional Massive Binaries in the Cygnus OB2 Association

Daniel C. Kiminki, Henry A. Kobulnicky, Ian Ewing +6

We report the discovery and orbital solutions for two new OB binaries in the Cygnus OB2 Association, MT311 (B2V+B3V) and MT605 (B0.5V+B2.5:V). We also identify the system MT429 as…
