Towards a comprehensive view of the Carina Nebula through the spectroscopic study of its O-star population

The Carina Nebula is one of the major and more massive regions of our Galaxy that contains a large number of massive O-type stars that can be analyzed. Benefiting from astrometry by Gaia DR3 and high-quality spectra from different surveys and stellar libraries, a detailed spectroscopic characterization of its O-type stellar content can be performed. To this aim, a high-degree of completeness in the census of its early-type population is mandatory. In this contribution I present the most complete census of OB stars ever done in Carina, including an updated estimate of the binary fraction of O stars and potential OB runaway candidates. Using Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) spectra and the library of libraries of massive star high-resolution spectra (LiLiMaRlin), we derive accurate rotational and stellar parameters for the O population in the region, obtaining a reliable distribution of rotational velocities and the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, from which we inspect the main physical properties of cluster members and test theoretical evolutionary models.

Abstract

The Carina Nebula is one of the major and more massive regions of our Galaxy that contains a large number of massive O-type stars that can be analyzed. Benefiting from astrometry by Gaia DR3 and high-quality spectra from different surveys and stellar libraries, a detailed spectroscopic characterization of its O-type stellar content can be performed. To this aim, a high-degree of completeness in the census of its early-type population is mandatory. In this contribution I present the most complete census of OB stars ever done in Carina, including an updated estimate of the binary fraction of O stars and potential OB runaway candidates. Using Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) spectra and the library of libraries of massive star high-resolution spectra (LiLiMaRlin), we derive accurate rotational and stellar parameters for the O population in the region, obtaining a reliable distribution of rotational velocities and the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, from which we inspect the main physical properties of cluster members and test theoretical evolutionary models.
