A systematic study of variability among OB-stars based on HIPPARCOS photometry
Context: Variability is a key factor for understanding the nature of themost massive stars, the OB stars. Such stars lie closest to the unstableupper limit of star formation. Aims: In terms of statistics, thedata from the HIPPARCOS satellite are unique because of time coverageand uniformity. They are ideal to study variability in this large,uniform sample of OB stars. Methods: We used statisticaltechniques to determine an independant threshold of variabilitycorresponding to our sample of OB stars, and then applied an automaticalgorithm to search for periods in the data of stars that are locatedabove this threshold. We separated the sample stars into 4 maincategories of variability: 3 intrinsic and 1 extrinsic. The intrinsiccategories are: OB main sequence stars (~2/3 of the sample), OBe stars(~10%) and OB Supergiant stars (~1/4).The extrinsic category refers toeclipsing binaries. Results: We classified about 30% of the wholesample as variable, although the fraction depends on magnitude level dueto instrumental limitations. OBe stars tend to be much more variable(≈80%) than the average sample star, while OBMS stars are belowaverage and OBSG stars are average. Types of variables include αCyg, β Cep, slowly pulsating stars and other types from the generalcatalog of variable stars. As for eclipsing binaries, there arerelatively more contact than detached systems among the OBMS and OBestars, and about equal numbers among OBSG stars.

New Estimates of the Solar-Neighborhood Massive Star Birthrate and the Galactic Supernova Rate
The birthrate of stars of masses >=10 Msolar is estimatedfrom a sample of just over 400 O3-B2 dwarfs within 1.5 kpc of the Sunand the result extrapolated to estimate the Galactic supernova ratecontributed by such stars. The solar-neighborhood Galactic-plane massivestar birthrate is estimated at ~176 stars kpc-3Myr-1. On the basis of a model in which the Galactic stellardensity distribution comprises a ``disk+central hole'' like that of thedust infrared emission (as proposed by Drimmel and Spergel), theGalactic supernova rate is estimated at probably not less than ~1 normore than ~2 per century and the number of O3-B2 dwarfs within the solarcircle at ~200,000.

Interstellar absorption lines toward Cep OB4
An analysis of optical echelle spectra towards nine stars in the Cep OB4association is presented. Interstellar absorption lines which arise inthe (1, 0) and (2, 0) bands of the CN A 2Π - X2Σ+ red system towards BD+66o1661, BD+66o 1674, and BD+66o 1675 are used toinfer accurate CN column densities N(CN). A comparison with earliermeasurements in the CN violet system allows to infer a CN Doppler bparameter of b(CN) = 1.2{-}2.4 km s-1. Molecular carbonabsorption lines which arise in the (1, 0), (2, 0) and (3, 0) bands ofthe C2 A1Πu -X1Σg+ Phillips system is used toinfer gaskinetic temperatures of 35±10 K and densities of n = 700± 200 cm-3 towards BD+66o 1661 andBD+66o 1675, and a temperature of 60±10 K and adensity of 800 ± 400 cm-3 towards BD+66o1674. The R(1) line of the (0, 0) band of the CH A2Δ -X2Π system is detected towards 6 stars. A tightcorrelation exists between N(C2) and N(CH). N(CN) increaseswith N(CH) and with N(C2). Interstellar CH+ ismarginally detected towards four stars. Inferred CH+ columndensities are significantly lower than towards other lines of sight withsimilar reddening. The velocity structure towards Cep OB4 and thechemical abundances suggest that CN, C2, CH, andCH+ are formed in quiescent material. A previous suggestionthat the molecules form in a photon-dominated region close to the starsis not supported by the observations.Based on observations collected at the Centro Astronómico HispanoAlemán (CAHA) at Calar Alto, operated jointly by the Max-PlanckInstitut für Astronomie and the Instituto de Astrofisica deAndalucia (CSIC).

Catalog of Galactic OB Stars
An all-sky catalog of Galactic OB stars has been created by extendingthe Case-Hamburg Galactic plane luminous-stars surveys to include 5500additional objects drawn from the literature. This work brings the totalnumber of known or reasonably suspected OB stars to over 16,000.Companion databases of UBVβ photometry and MK classifications forthese objects include nearly 30,000 and 20,000 entries, respectively.

Absolute proper motions of open clusters. I. Observational data
Mean proper motions and parallaxes of 205 open clusters were determinedfrom their member stars found in the Hipparcos Catalogue. 360 clusterswere searched for possible members, excluding nearby clusters withdistances D < 200 pc. Members were selected using ground basedinformation (photometry, radial velocity, proper motion, distance fromthe cluster centre) and information provided by Hipparcos (propermotion, parallax). Altogether 630 certain and 100 possible members werefound. A comparison of the Hipparcos parallaxes with photometricdistances of open clusters shows good agreement. The Hipparcos dataconfirm or reject the membership of several Cepheids in the studiedclusters.

UBV beta Database for Case-Hamburg Northern and Southern Luminous Stars
A database of photoelectric UBV beta photometry for stars listed in theCase-Hamburg northern and southern Milky Way luminous stars surveys hasbeen compiled from the original research literature. Consisting of over16,000 observations of some 7300 stars from over 500 sources, thisdatabase constitutes the most complete compilation of such photometryavailable for intrinsically luminous stars around the Galactic plane.Over 5000 stars listed in the Case-Hamburg surveys still lackfundamental photometric data.

The initial mass function for massive stars
A machine readable catalog of over 750 galactic O stars with publishedphotometry, spectral types, and luminosity classes has been compiled.The catalog is probably complete to a distance of about 2.5 kpc. Fromthis volume-limited data, the initial mass function (IMF) for stars moremassive than 20 solar masses has been derived. This IMF differs fromthat of Miller and Scalo (1979) and of Lequeux (1979), in havingproportionately more O type stars and not as steep a fall-off in numberof stars with increasing mass. Dividing the sample into stars inside andoutside the solar circle, a substantial difference in the IMF of themost massive stars is found. There are proportionally more toward thegalactic center. This gradient in the IMF may be related to the observedspace density of Wolf-Rayet stars, which are descendants of O typestars.

21-cm observations of the CEP IV star-formation region
The Cep IV star-formation region has been mapped at 21 cm. The resultingH I distribution indicates that the available gas forms a broken ringcoincident with the optical nebulosity. Comparison of this feature withother kinematic data for both stars and gas suggests that sequentialstar formation is an ongoing process in this region.

Isolated Stroemgren spheres as a source of galactic H alpha emission
The isolated H alpha emission features reported by Reynolds et al. areidentified with Stroemgren spheres surrounding observed O stars; theroot mean square electron densities and Stroemgren radii are calculatedfrom the observed emission measure and stellar type. The density has anaverage value of 2 per cu cm but increases to 3.3 per cu cm for starswithin 200 pc of the galactic plane. An analysis of the Catalogue ofGalactic O Stars shows that enhanced H alpha emission is observed aroundall known O stars. The diffuse component of H alpha emission is what onewould expect from the line-of-sight overlapping of isolated Stroemgrenspheres surrounding B stars and appears to correlate with features onextinction maps, as derived. There is no compelling reason to suggestany large-scale intercloud ionization from H alpha data alone.
