The Galactic warp in OB stars from Hipparcos
The kinematics of distant OB stars perpendicular to the Galactic plane, inferred from proper motions in the Hipparcos catalogue, are analysed and compared to the kinematic signature that would be induced by a long-lived Galactic warp. Previously we reported that the kinematics of the OB stars toward the anticenter were inconsistent with the assumption of a long-lived warp (Smart et al. 1998), s...
متن کاملFundamental parameters of Galactic luminous OB stars
We study the effect of microturbulence in the line formation calculations of H and He lines, in the parameter range typical for O and early B stars. We are specially interested in its effect on the determination of stellar parameters: Teff , log g and specially on the He abundance. We first analyze the behaviour of H and He model lines between 4 000 and 5 000 Å with microturbulence and find tha...
متن کاملMass loss from OB-stars
We review recent developments regarding radiation driven mass loss from OB-stars. We first summarize the fundamental theoretical predictions, and then compare these to observational results (including the VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars). Especially we focus on the mass loss-metallicity dependence and on the so-called bi-stability jump. Subsequently we concentrate on two urgent problems, wea...
متن کاملRotation of Hot Horizontal Branch Stars in Galactic Globular Clusters
We present high resolution UVES+VLT spectroscopic observations of 61 stars in the extended blue horizontal branches of the Galactic globular clusters NGC 1904 (M79), NGC 2808, NGC 6093 (M80), and NGC 7078 M15). Our data reveal for the first time the presence in NGC 1904 of a sizable population of fast (vsini ≥ 20 km/s) horizontal branch (HB) rotators, confined to the cool end of the EHB, simila...
متن کاملX-rays from magnetic massive OB stars
The magnetic activity of solar-type and low-mass stars is a well known source of coronal X-ray emission. At the other end of the main sequence, X-rays emission is instead associated with the powerful, radiatively driven winds of massive stars. Indeed, the intrinsically unstable line-driving mechanism of OB star winds gives rise to shock-heated, soft emission (∼0.5 keV) distributed throughout th...
