A study of RV in Galactic O stars from the 2MASS catalogue
We present new measurements of the interstellar reddening parameterRV=AV/E(B-V) towards 185 O stars, using J, H,Ks photometry from the 2MASS project. The results arecombined with data from the literature of 95 stars where RVhas been derived with the same technique, 22 of which in common with ourpresent sample from the 2MASS project catalogue. The averageRV from these 258 O stars is of 3.19 +/- 0.50. All objectswhose RV departs from this value by more than 2 sigma havebeen recognized. Ten objects have RV higher than this valueand two lower. It is found that anomalous RV can scarcely beassociated with anomalies in the general interstellar medium, e.g. withdifferent behaviour in different spiral arms. They are clearly linked tolocal cloud effect. In the Cygnus region RV values follow thebehaviour of the general interstellar medium, while in the Carina arm,in spite of the relatively larger distance, local cloud effects prevail.An explanation for this is suggested. The relatively few stars of oursample whose Hipparcos parallaxes are reliable, are found to havedistances systematically smaller than the distances derived by thespectroscopic parallaxes. We argue that this effect is consistent withthe recently claimed discovery of grey extinction towards OB stars.This publication makes use of data products from the Two Micron All SkySurvey (2MASS), which is a joint project of the University ofMassachusetts and the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center/CaliforniaInstitute of Technology, funded by the National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration and the National Science Foundation.Tables 1 and 2 are only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/410/905

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.

Vitesses radiales. Catalogue WEB: Wilson Evans Batten. Subtittle: Radial velocities: The Wilson-Evans-Batten catalogue.
We give a common version of the two catalogues of Mean Radial Velocitiesby Wilson (1963) and Evans (1978) to which we have added the catalogueof spectroscopic binary systems (Batten et al. 1989). For each star,when possible, we give: 1) an acronym to enter SIMBAD (Set ofIdentifications Measurements and Bibliography for Astronomical Data) ofthe CDS (Centre de Donnees Astronomiques de Strasbourg). 2) the numberHIC of the HIPPARCOS catalogue (Turon 1992). 3) the CCDM number(Catalogue des Composantes des etoiles Doubles et Multiples) byDommanget & Nys (1994). For the cluster stars, a precise study hasbeen done, on the identificator numbers. Numerous remarks point out theproblems we have had to deal with.

The interstellar 217 NM band - A third catalogue of equivalent widths
A catalog of equivalent widths of the 217 nm interstellar absorptionband as well as other parameters characterizing the extinction curve inthe ultraviolet has been compiled for 790 O and B stars. A relativelytight correlation between the equivalent width of the 217 nm band andE(B-V) indicates that the absorber of this band is connected with thepopulation of larger interstellar grains responsible for the visualextinction. The parameter characterizing the amount of extinction in thefar UV is only weakly correlated with E(B-V), a result in accord withthe assumption that a second population of very small grains causes therapid increase of the far-UV extinction.

A catalog of ultraviolet interstellar extinction excesses for 1415 stars
Ultraviolet interstellar extinction excesses are presented for 1415stars with spectral types B7 and earlier. The excesses with respect to Vare derived from Astronomical Netherlands Satellite (ANS) 5-channel UVphotometry at central wavelengths of approximately 1550, 1800, 2500, and3300 A. A measure of the excess extinction in the 2200-A extinction bumpis also given. The data are valuable for investigating the systematicsof peculiar interstellar extinction and for studying the character of UVinterstellar extinction in the general direction of stars for which theextinction-curve shape is unknown.

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.

Mass spectra of young stars
Data on the mass spectra of young stars from various regions arestudied, with a view to correlations with the properties of theassociated molecular clouds and the spatial distributions of stars, inorder to arrive at a determination of the initial mass function ofstars. The most massive stars seem to form in the dense cores of formingclusters or associations, and the mass of the most massive young starincreases systematically with the mass of the associated molecularcloud, in keeping with the view that molecular cloud cores grow byaccretion and become progressively more massive and condensed. The moremassive stars form by accumulation, rather than fragmentation, in thedense core regions of protoclusters. If stellar winds play an importantrole in limiting the masses that forming stars can attain, the maximumstellar mass should increase with the ambient gas density and withturbulence. These predictions are borne out by observations.

Study of a triple emission nebula in Orion
The H II regions S254, 255, and 257 in the constellation Orion are closetogether on the sky and appear like a triple object. Fabry-Perot radialvelocities of the H II regions as well as UBV photoelectric magnitudesof their exciting stars are obtained. The data show that (1) all threenebulae are at a distance of 2.5 kpc; (2) an excess extinction isobserved in S255 and S257 while S254 shows no excess extinction; and (3)S255, identified as an IR and a molecular source, is the youngest objectof the group. It is concluded that the three H II regions are atdifferent evolutionary stages.

Aperture synthesis observations of galactic H II regions. III - Small H II regions in the anticenter region
Results are presented for aperture-synthesis observations at wavelengthsof 6 and 21 cm of the H II regions S 254, S 255, S 256, S 257, S 258, S266, S 271, and S 272. Flux densities are determined with an accuracy ofabout 15% by planimetering of contour maps, and physical parameters ofeach region are derived from the observed quantities in terms of a modelH II region consisting of pure hydrogen uniformly distributed in acylinder whose depth equals its diameter. Properties of the individualregions are discussed, with emphasis on rms electron densities and thenature of the exciting stars. The radial velocities of the regions areshown to indicate that they all lie in the Perseus Arm and are spreadout over a length of 300 pc. It is found that none of the regions isexcited by a star of spectral type earlier than O9.5, star formation isprobably occurring on a small scale in this part of the Perseus Arm,most of the exciting stars seem to have formed completely independentlyof each other, all but one of the regions appear to have an ionized massof the order of 1 solar mass or less, and the masses of the excitingstars appear to be at least an order of magnitude greater than theionized-gas masses.
