Abstract

This paper reports 209 O-type stars found with LAMOST. All 135 new O-type stars discovered so far with LAMOST are given. Among them, 94 stars are first presented in this sample. There are 1 Iafpe star, 5 Onfp stars, 12 Oe stars, 1 Ofc stars, 3 ON stars, 16 double-lined spectroscopic binaries, and 33 single-lined spectroscopic binaries. All O-type stars are determined based on LAMOST low-resolution spectra (R ∼ 1800), with their LAMOST median-resolution spectra (R ∼ 7500) as supplements.

1. Introduction

O-type stars are very rare and short-lived, but they play important roles in many astronomical fields. They illuminate the galaxy where they live. They produced tremendous amounts of ionizing photons that punctured the neutral gas and made the universe transparent in the Epoch of Reionization (Haiman & Loeb 1997; Loeb & Barkana 2001). Their stellar winds and powerful explosions when they die are drivers of gas in galaxies (Rogers & Pittard 2013), while their ejecta can enrich surrounding gas where new stars are born. They are thought to be the progenitors of many core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs; Woosley & Bloom 2006; Langer 2012), and are also responsible for some gravitational-wave events (de Mink & Mandel 2016). Besides, massive stars are good tools to study the structure of the Galactic plane (Xu et al. 2018; Chen et al. 2019; Cheng et al. 2019).

Sana et al. (2012) presented that most O-type are born in binary systems, and about three-quarters of O-type stars would undergo interactions. Thus, multiple observations for these O-type stars from different epochs are necessary to understand their interaction processes and nature. As a result, the compilation of Galactic massive stars is a fundamental work. Reed (2003) gave a widely used catalog of OB stars based on optical photometry. Later, Maíz-Apellániz et al. (2004) gave a catalog of 378 O-type stars based on optical spectroscopy. Then, the Galactic O-Star Spectroscopic Survey (GOSSS; Maíz Apellániz et al. 2011) presented 594 O-type stars using a uniform spectral classification criteria (Sota et al. 2011, 2014; Maíz Apellániz et al. 2016). Recently, Liu et al. (2019) presented the largest OB catalog from the Guoshoujing Telescope (the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope, LAMOST) database, and Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019) also gave a catalog of 27 new O-type stars based on the LAMOST database. Beyond the Galaxy, 213 O-type stars in 30 Doradus were given by Walborn et al. (2014).

In this paper, I compile 209 O-type stars found in the LAMOST database until the end of 2018.

2. Data

I used the method given in Li & Howarth (2020) to select O-type stars in the LAMOST low-resolution spectral data (R ∼ 1800) between 2011 and 2018, and LAMOST medium-resolution spectra (R ∼ 7500) are also used, if any. Information about LAMOST low- and medium-resolution spectra can be referred to Wang et al. (1996), Su & Cui (2004), Cui et al. (2012), Luo et al. (2012), Zhao et al. (2012), and Liu et al. (2020). Each star is assigned with the name of "LAMOST-O xxx," where "xxx" is a number ascending with the star's galactic longitude. All O-type stars found in LAMOST databases, with their names recommended by Simbad, sky positions, and spectral classifications, are tabulated in Table 1. The LAMOST low- and medium-resolution spectra shown in this paper are provided in the China-VO PaperData repository at doi:10.12149/101049.

3. Spectral Classification Method

In this section, a brief introduction to the spectral classification scheme is given. The detailed spectral classification criteria for O-type stars are from Sota et al. (2011, 2014) and Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016), while spectral type and luminosity sequences are shown in Figures 3–11 in Sota et al. (2011).

  • 1.  
    The spectral type is primarily based on the ratio of He ii λ4542/He i λ4471. The later the spectral type, the smaller the ratio, and is ∼1 at O7. For types equal to or later than O8, He ii λ4542/He i λ4388 and He i λ4388/He i λ4144 become very useful to determine the spectral type. At O9, both are ∼1. Moreover, the ratio of Si iii λ4552/He ii λ4542 becomes useful for determining spectral types later than O9 and ∼1, at O9.7 (see Table 3 in Sota et al. 2014). A spectral type sequence of LAMOST O dwarfs is shown in Figure 1.
  • 2.  
    For stars earlier than O9, the luminosity classification is based on the features of He ii λ4686 and N iii λ4634-4640-4642, which define the "Of" phenomenon: ((f)) means weak emission of the N iii line, while there is strong absorption of the He ii line; (f) means medium N iii emission, while the He ii absorption is weak; f means both lines are in strong emission. The stronger the Of effect, the higher the luminosity (see Table 2 in Sota et al. 2014). A luminosity sequence for O-type stars earlier than O9 is shown by the top five spectra in Figure. 2.
  • 3.  
    For stars equal to or less than O9, the luminosity classification is based on the ratios of He ii λ4686/He i λ4713 and He i λ4026/Si iv λ4089. The lower the ratios, the higher the luminosity (see Table 6 in Sota et al. 2011). A luminosity sequence for O9 is shown by the bottom three spectra in Figure. 2.
  • 4.  
    The suffix z is assigned to stars with the ratio of EW(He ii λ4686)/Max[EW(He ii λ4686), EW(He ii λ4686)] > 1.1, which are supposed to be very near the zero-age main sequence (Sabín-Sanjulián et al. 2014; Arias et al. 2016).
  • 5.  
    As in Sota et al. (2011), (n), n, and nn are used to indicate the rotational broadening, with roughly projected rotational velocities of 200 km s−1, 300 km s−1, and 400 km s−1, respectively.

The MK spectral classification is to compare the spectrum under study to standard spectra. It is impossible for these standard spectra to cover all kinds of spectra. Thus, compromises are needed. Moreover, the signal-to-noise ratio, rotational effect, stellar wind, metallicity, and even spectral resolution influence the classification. Thus, spectral classification is something of an art.

So far, there are still no widely accepted quantitative spectral classification criteria. Martins (2018) gave a quantitative spectral classification based on the equivalent widths (EWs) of some lines, but cannot assign an exact spectral type to a star with only these quantities. Moreover, both the quality and resolution of LAMOST spectra are low. As a result, the classic MK spectral classification method is used. Specifically, all O-type stars in this paper are assigned spectral types by comparing with standard O-type stars in Table 2 in Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016).

4. Result

4.1. Iafpe

O Iafpe stars are Of stars, with He i λ4471 showing P Cygni profiles (Sota et al. 2014).

LAMOST-O 027 = Schulte 9. This star is also in GOSSS (Sota et al. 2014), with a spectral type of O4.5 If. By comparing two spectra given by LAMOST (see Figure 3) and GOSSS, respectively, this star is an SB1 (ΔV ∼ 44 km s−1) and also shows variations of the emission lines, but its spectral type is unchanged. In high-quality spectra, it is an SB2 (Nazé et al. 2012).

Figure 3.

Standard image High-resolution image

LAMOST-O 076 = LS I+62 14. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is B0 or OBe. Thus, it may be a new O-type star. Its spectrum is very similar to that of LAMOST-O 027 in Figure 3: He ii λ4686 and N iii λ4634-40-42 are both in strong emissions. However, their He i λ4471 and H β are different.

In the spectrum of LAMOST-O 076, the He i λ4471 absorption is very sharp, which may be infilled by emission produced by the material in the stellar wind. Moreover, there may be emission in the blue wings of He i λ4471 and Hβ, though weak, so He i λ4471 and Hβ may be P Cygni profiles. As a result, LAMOST-O 076 is an O5: Iafpe candidate.

4.2. Onfp

The Onfp category consists of fast-rotating Of stars that have absorption reversals in its He ii λ4686 emissions (Sota et al. 2014). All LAMOST spectra of Onfp stars are shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4.

Standard image High-resolution image

LAMOST-O 001 = HD 172 175. This star is also in GOSSS. By comparing two spectra given by LAMOST and GOSSS (Sota et al. 2011), respectively, the ratio of He ii λ4200/He i + II λ4026 is ∼1 in the LAMOST spectrum, a little higher than that in the GOSSS spectrum, which results in a little earlier spectral type in the LAMOST spectrum, O6 I(n)fp.

LAMOST-O 036 = UCAC4 669-086327. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), this star is O4 IV(f). In the LAMOST spectrum, its C iii λ4647-50-51 emission is also strong enough to be assigned a suffix of (c). Moreover, its He ii λ4686 has a weak emission wing. As a result, it is an O4 IV(fc)p.

LAMOST-O 094 = HD 14 442. Comparing two spectra given by LAMOST and GOSSS (Sota et al. 2011), it is an SB1 star (ΔV ∼ 72 km s−1), with a variable He ii λ4686 profile.

LAMOST-O 121 = LAMOST J040643.69+542347.8. This star is the fastest rotator in the Galaxy with a ve sin i ∼ 540 km s−1. It is also a runaway, which implies a binary origin. For detailed information, refer to Li (2020).

LAMOST-O 205 = HD 292 419. It is a B-type star in Reed (2003), but its LAMOST spectrum is O6 Iafp.

4.3. Ofc

The Ofc category consists of normal spectra with the emission intensity of C iii λ4650 similar to that of N iii λ4634 (Sota et al. 2014) and peaks at O5 for all luminosity classes. There is only one Ofc star in LAMOST data as shown in Figure 4.

LAMOST-O 043 = LS III +56 109. This star is an SB2 in Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016). Comparing its spectra from LAMOST and GOSSS, there is a ΔV of ∼155 km s−1.

4.4. Oe

The Oe category was defined by Conti & Leep (1974) and is thought to be the hotter counterpart of the classic Be category (Rivinius et al. 2013). Until 2018, there were only 13 Oe stars in the Galaxy (Li et al. 2018). Here, I present another 12 Oe-type stars found with LAMOST (see Figure 5). Among them, LAMOST-O 013 = LS II +23 14, LAMOST-O 065 = EM* GGR 149, LAMOST-O 095 = V* KM Cas, LAMOST-O 159 = RL 128, LAMOST-O 161 = HD 255 055, and LAMOST-O 206 = EM* RJHA 83 = TYC 4801-17-1 had been discussed in Li et al. (2018).

Standard image High-resolution image

LAMOST-O 010 = TYC 5122-465-1. This star has no spectral information in Simbad, and thus may be a new O-type star. Its spectrum in Figure 5 shows it is an O9 IIIn star, while emissions in the blue wings of its Hα lines in two LAMOST low-resolution spectra (see Figure 6) imply it may be an Oe star.

Standard image High-resolution image

LAMOST-O 035 = RLP 1252. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), its spectral type is O8 III(f)e, but the LAMOST spectrum shows that He ii λ4686 is much stronger than He i λ4713, so it is a dwarf. Moreover, its N iii λ4634-40-42 is not easily recognized from noise. Thus, it is O8 Ve.

LAMOST-O 038 = BD+53 2790. This star is an X-binary (Ribó et al. 2006), but Blay et al. (2006) suggested it is a peculiar single O-type star. Its Hα profile in Figure 6 indicates that it is an Oe shell-like star. However, the ratio of He ii λ4686/He i λ4713 indicates that its luminosity is II, but its weak Si iv λ4089 and 4116 indicate a lower luminosity. Thus, its luminosity is unclear.

LAMOST-O 047 = HD 240 197. In Simbad, its spectral type is B5 (Cannon & Pickering 1993). Its Hα and Hβ profiles in the LAMOST spectrum suggest it is an Oe star. Moreover, its C iii lines have almost disappeared, while the N iii λ4634-40-42 absorption is very strong. The ratio of He ii λ4686/He i λ4713 indicates that its luminosity is II, but its weak Si iv λ4089 and 4116 indicate it is a dwarf. Thus, its luminosity is unclear. As a result, it is assigned ON9.7 (n)e.

This star may be a pole-on, rapidly rotating star. The rapid rotation induces chemically homogeneous evolution, which can take C and H on the stellar surface into the core, while bringing the N produced by the CNO-burning cycle in the core back to the surface (Maeder & Meynet 2000). The rapid rotation also lifts the material around the equator to form a circumstellar disk, where emission lines are produced (Rivinius et al. 2013). The strong Mg ii λ4481 also implies circumstellar material. As a result, we see an Oe star with N enrichment, but without C.

LAMOST-O 053 = HD 240 234. In Simbad, its spectral type is B0 (Brodskaya 1953), but the LAMOST spectrum clearly shows it is an O9.7 V(n)e star.

LAMOST-O 065 = EM* GGR 149. It was classified as O9.7 IVn in Li et al. (2018). But by comparing the standard stars in Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016), it is more like a dwarf. Moreover, it should be a slower rotator compared to other rotation stars. As a result, it is assigned O9.7 V(n)e.

LAMOST-O 100 = HD 14 645. In Simbad, its spectral type is B0 IV:nn (Hiltner 1956). According to the latest GOSSS criteria, it is an O9.7 star. For the same reason as LAMOST-O 038, its luminosity is unclear. The Hα profiles in its two LAMOST medium-resolution spectra have variable emission wings (see Figure 6), which suggest it is also an Oe star. As a result, it is O9.7 ne.

LAMOST-O 159 = RL 128. This star is a Kepler K2 star, with a period of 5.03 days (Buysschaert et al. 2015). Its Hα emission is variable, and Ca ii triplet emission also appears sometimes (Li et al. 2018). It is very dim, V = 15.11 mag, but near, ϖ = 0.1752 ± 0.0316 mas (Gaia Collaboration 2020), that is, ∼5.7 kpc. If there is no extinction, the absolute magnitude MV ∼ 1.33 mag, which means that it is an sdO. In fact, it is very blue (UB = −0.9 mag; Mermilliod 1987), which implies extinction should be ≪6 mag (Walborn 2002). As a result, this star may be a binary, and the primary is an sdO, which is accreting the material from the secondary. Because of the low quality of the LAMOST spectra, the GOSSS spectral type with suffix "e" is adopted: O4.5 V((c))ze.

LAMOST-O 161 = HD 255 055. Its spectral type was O9.5 IIIe in Li et al. (2018), but here it is revised to O9.2 IVe.

4.5. ON

The O-type stars with N iii λ4641/42 absorption stronger than C iii λ4650/51 absorption are classified as ON stars. Their enriched N may be produced by nucleosynthesis and transported to the surface by rotationally induced mixing (Li & Howarth 2020). LAMOST ON stars are shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7.

LAMOST-O 074 = LS I+61 28 and LAMOST-O 085 = HD 236 672 had been discussed in Li & Howarth (2020), while LAMOST-O 047 = HD 240 197 was presented in Section 4.4.

4.6. Double-lined Spectroscopic Binaries (SB2)

LAMOST SB2 stars are shown in Figure 8. Because of the low resolution and/or quality of LAMOST spectra, the spectral types of the primary and secondary in each binary may be not correctly determined.

Standard image High-resolution image

LAMOST-O 003 = TYC 5125-3040-1. In Simbad, there is no spectral information about this star. Thus, it may be a new SB2. The period is 4.3326 days (Shappee et al. 2014).

LAMOST-O 039 = V* AW Lac. In Simbad, it is a β Lyrae–type eclipsing system, with a period of 1.14285456 days (Jiang et al. 1983). In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is OB or B type. Its LAMOST spectrum is an SB2.

LAMOST-O 041 = BD+54 2789. In Simbad, it is a double or multiple system. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is OB. There are too many stars crowded around BD+54 2789, so the LAMOST spectrum may be contaminated.

LAMOST-O 044 = LS III +57 99. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is OB-. In Shappee et al. (2014), it is a binary with a period of 1.8432649 days.

LAMOST-O 056. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is B. Its LAMOST spectrum is an SB2.

LAMOST-O 060. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is O8.5 Ve (Chini & Wink 1984) or O9 V (Russeil et al. 2007). It is also suggested to be an eclipsing binary with a period of 1.1409 days (Shappee et al. 2014).

LAMOST-O 072 = V* QQ Cas. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is OB or B type. In Simbad, it is a β Lyrae–type eclipsing system, with a period of 2.142030 days (Kukarkin 1957).

LAMOST-O 087 = Hilt 233. This star has been resolved by GOSSS as an SB2 (Maíz Apellániz et al. 2016), which is adopted in this paper.

LAMOST-O 104 = LS I+62 223. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is OB+. The LAMOST spectrum is an O binary.

LAMOST-O 108 = LS I+62 227. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is OB, OB+e, or B2. The LAMOST spectrum is an O binary.

LAMOST-O 109. This star is an SB2, which will be discussed in a future paper and not shown in Figure 8.

LAMOST-O 135 = LS V+48 12. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), its spectral type is O8.5 III(f). But there is no N iii λ4634-40-42 emission. Its LAMOST median-resolution spectra show it is an SB2 in Figure 6. If two stars in the binary have a similar mass, then their spectral type should be around O9.5.

LAMOST-O 141 = LS V+38 12. This star is assigned a spectral type of O7 V((f))+B0 III-V by Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016). In Figure 8, He ii λ4542 is slightly stronger than He i λ4471 for the primary, so it should be O6.5 V((f))+B0 III-V.

LAMOST-O 144 = LS V+38 15. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), its spectral type is O8.5 IV(n), but the asymmetries of He i λ4388, 4471, 4922, and He ii λ4686 suggest it is an SB2.

LAMOST-O 162 = HD 255 312. It was observed by the Kepler telescope in the K2 mission with a quasi-period of 0.734701 days (Armstrong et al. 2015). However, Shappee et al. (2014) suggested it is an eclipsing binary with a period of 1.46976 days.

LAMOST-O 185 = HD 48 099. The LAMOST spectrum is 15farcs73 away from HD 48 099. This star is also in GOSSS (Sota et al. 2014). The signal-to-noise ratio of the LAMOST spectrum is low, but the spectra of LAMOST and GOSSS seem well consistent with each other. Thus, the GOSSS spectral type O5 V((f))z + O9: V is adopted.

4.7. Single-lined Spectroscopic Binaries (SB1)

SB1 stars are shown in Figure 9. Each star was observed by LAMOST for at least two times and shows an obvious shift in wavelength between its spectra from different epochs. LAMOST-O 023, 073, and 146 are determined to be SB1 stars from their medium-resolution spectra from different epochs, while others are determined from low-resolution spectra.

Standard image High-resolution image

LAMOST-O 023 = TYC 3156-1881-1. In Berlanas et al. (2018), its spectral type is O8 IIIz. The LAMOST spectrum is O7 Vz. According to its medium-resolution spectra, it is an SB1, with ΔV ∼ 75 km s−1.

LAMOST-O 073 = LS I+62 4. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is OB-. Its LAMOST spectral type is O9.5 V. According to its medium-resolution spectra, it is an SB1, with ΔV ∼ 43 km s−1.

LAMOST-O 081 = LS I+62 25. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is OB. Its LAMOST spectral type is O9.7 III, with ΔV ∼ 168 km s−1.

LAMOST-O 084 = HD 240 464. Martin (1972) classified this star as O9 V. Its LAMOST spectral type is O9.5 V, with ΔV ∼ 90 km s−1.

LAMOST-O 097 = BD+60 498. This star has a spectral type of O9.7 II–III in Sota et al. (2011), but by comparing spectra from LAMOST and GOSSS, its He i λ4713 in the LAMOST spectrum is slightly weaker than that in the GOSSS spectrum. Thus, it is classified as O9.7 IV. Besides, there is an obvious wavelength shift between two spectra (ΔV ∼ 96 km s−1), which suggests it is an SB1.

LAMOST-O 105 = BD+60 544. In Simbad, this star is a double or multiple system, but without reference. In Rydstrom (1978), its spectral type is OB:. Its LAMOST spectral type is O9.7 III, with ΔV ∼ 22 km s−1.

LAMOST-O 113 = BD+60 594. In Rydstrom (1978), its spectral type is O9 V. Its LAMOST spectral type is O8.5 Vn, with ΔV ∼ 60 km s−1.

LAMOST-O 130 = TYC 3340-2437-1. In Liu et al. (2019), its spectral type is B. Its LAMOST spectral type is O9.7 III, with ΔV ∼ 60 km s−1.

LAMOST-O 131 = LS V+48 9. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), its spectral type is O9.7 IVn. Its weak He ii λ4686 indicates a high luminosity, but its weak Si iv λ4089 and 4116 imply a low one. Thus, its luminosity is unclear. As a result, it is assigned O9.7 n. Its He ii line profiles show obvious variabilities or shifts, which imply it is an SB1.

LAMOST-O 139 = HD 277 878. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), its spectral type is also O7 V((f))z. Moreover, there is a ΔV ∼ 35 km s−1 between LAMOST spectra.

LAMOST-O 146 = LS V+34 21. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), its spectral type is also O9 IV. According to its medium-resolution spectra, it is an SB1, with ΔV ∼ 18 km s−1.

LAMOST-O 155 = LS V+29 22. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is OB. Its LAMOST spectral type is O9.7, with an unclear luminosity. LAMOST spectra also have a ΔV ∼ 52 km s−1.

LAMOST-O 199 = TYC 147-1646-1. In Moffat et al. (1979), its spectral type is B0 III. For a similar reason to LAMOST-O 131, its luminosity is unclear. Though ΔV ∼ 18 km s−1 is slightly low, it should be an SB1 from direct comparison of two high signal-to-noise-ratio spectra.

4.8. Vz

OVz stars are on or very near the zero-age main-sequence O (Walborn 2009). Thus, they are among the youngest massive stars (Arias et al. 2016). In Figure 10, 14 OVz stars in LAMOST data are shown. LMOST-O 023 and 139 are SB1 and have been presented in Section 4.7.

Standard image High-resolution image

LAMOST-O 016 = HD 338 916. This star is also in GOSSS data (Maíz Apellániz et al. 2016), with a spectral type of O7.5 Vz. There is no radial velocity variation between LAMOST and GOSSS spectra, but He i λ4471 and He ii λ4542 in the LAMOST spectrum are a little stronger.

LAMOST-O 028 = GSC 03161-01264 and LAMOST-O 032 = GSC 03161-01086. These two stars are O6.5 V and O7 V, respectively, in Comerón & Pasquali (2012). However, their He ii λ4686 in LAMOST spectra are strong enough to be Oz. Thus, they are O6.5 Vz and O7 Vz, respectively.

LAMOST-O 034 = Schulte 29. Its GOSSS spectral type is O7.5 V(n)((f))z (Maíz Apellániz et al. 2016). But its He i λ4471 in the LAMOST spectrum is a little weaker than that in the GOSSS spectrum, thus it is O7 V(n)((f))z. It is an SB1 (Kobulnicky et al. 2014), but its LAMOST and GOSSS spectra do not show obvious radial velocity variation. The reason may be that the semiamplitude of the radial velocity curve of the primary, 17.5 km s−1, is too low to be detected.

LAMOST-O 062 = LS III +58 86. This star was categorized as B2 in Brodskaya (1953). Its LAMOST spectral type is O7 V(n)z.

LAMOST-O 064 = LS I+60 9. It is a B-type star, without a reference in Simbad. Its LAMOST spectral type is O7 Vn((f))z.

LAMOST-O 068 = LS I+60 10. In Brodskaya (1953), it is B2, but its LAMOST spectral type is O7.5 Vz.

LAMOST-O 088 = LS I+61 266. It is a B-type star, without a reference in Simbad. LAMOST spectral type is O6 Vz.

LAMOST-O 092 = BD+61 411. The spectral type is O6.5 V((f))z in Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016), but the ratio of He ii λ4542/He i λ4471 in the LAMOST spectrum is slightly smaller than that in the GOSSS spectrum, thus the LAMOST spectral classification is O7 V((f))z. Moreover, there is a ΔV ∼ 55 km s−1 between LAMOST and GOSSS spectra. Thus, it is an SB1.

LAMOST-O 099 = BD+60 501. There is a ΔV ∼ 60 km s−1 between LAMOST and GOSSS spectra (Sota et al. 2011). Thus, it is an SB1.

LAMOST-O 101 = BD+56 594. In Rydstrom (1978), its spectral type is OB. Its LAMOST spectral type is O7.5 Vz.

LAMOST-O 124 = TYC 3339-851-1. This star is O5 V((f)) in Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), but the ratio of He ii λ4542/He i λ4471 is not that large. Moreover, its He ii λ4686 is stronger than He ii λ4542 and He i λ4471, but N iii λ4634-40-42 cannot be undoubtedly identified. Thus, it is assigned as O6 Vz.

LAMOST-O 149 = LS V+33 15. This star is also in Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016) with a spectral type of O7 V(n)z. But both He ii λ4200/He i + II λ4026 and He ii λ4542/He i λ4471 are higher in the LAMOST spectrum, which suggests its spectral type should be O5.5. Surprisingly, the strong absorption line C iii λ4647/50/51 in the GOSSS spectrum becomes emission in the LAMOST spectrum, while N iii λ4636/40/42 is also in emission in the LAMOST spectrum. There is a wavelength shift between the GOSSS and LAMOST spectra (ΔV ∼ 20 km s−1), and the Hα line also shows a variation between two LAMOST spectra. Thus, it should be an SB1, which may be responsible for the spectral variation.

LAMOST-O 150 = HD 242 926. It is a spectral classification standard star of O7 Vz (Maíz Apellániz et al. 2016). But there are still line variabilities between LAMOST and GOSSS spectra. Specifically, He ii λ4686 in the LAMOST spectrum is slightly weaker than that in the GOSSS spectrum.

LAMOST-O 172 = TYC 1323-1592-1. It is O7.5 V((f)) in Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), but it should be O8.5 Vz.

LAMOST-O 201 = Cl* Dolidze 25 MV 17. In Negueruela et al. (2015), its spectral type is also O7 Vz.

In Simbad, there is no spectral information about LAMOST-O 006, LAMOST-O 008 = TYC 5121-769-1, LAMOST-O 015, and LAMOST-O 017. Thus, these four stars may be new O-type stars.

LAMOST-O 012 = TYC 1036-450-1. This star has unclear luminosity (Maíz Apellániz et al. 2016). However, there is an obvious wavelength shift between LAMOST and GOSSS spectra (ΔV ∼ 78 km s−1). Thus, it is an SB1.

LAMOST-O 014 = HD 345 475. Its spectral type is B0 in Popper (1950). Its LAMOST spectrum is roughly O9.7 II.

LAMOST-O 018 = [NH52] 74. Its spectral type is also O9.7 IV in Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019).

Standard image High-resolution image

LAMOST-O 019 = BD+37 3917. Its spectral type is OB in Nassau & Harris (1952). Its LAMOST spectrum is roughly O9.7 II.

LAMOST-O 020 = HD 228 943. Its spectral type is O9.7 III in Mathys (1989). Its LAMOST spectrum is O9.7 III(n). Its radial velocity in the LAMOST spectrum is more than 80 km s−1 lower than that given by Huang & Gies (2006), which suggests this star may be an SB1.

LAMOST-O 021 = TYC 3152-1390-1. This star has no spectral information in Simbad.

LAMOST-O 022 = HD 194 094. Its spectral type is O8.5 III in Mahy et al. (2013). Its LAMOST spectrum is O9 III. Its radial velocities given by Evans (1967), Mahy et al. (2013), and the LAMOST spectrum agree well with each other within 10 km s−1. Thus, it is likely a single star.

LAMOST-O 024 = UCAC4 655-091969. Its spectral type is also O8 III((f)) in Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019).

LAMOST-O 025 = [CPR2002] A25. Its spectrum is too noisy to be used for classification. I adopt the spectral type O8 III given by Comerón & Pasquali (2012).

LAMOST-O 026 = [CPR2002] A26. Its spectral type is O9 V in Comerón & Pasquali (2012). But the ratio of He ii λ4686/ He i λ4713 in the LAMOST spectrum suggests that its luminosity should be III.

LAMOST-O 029 = Schulte 20. Its spectral type is also O9 III in Comerón & Pasquali (2012). LAMOST spectrum is O9.7 IV. In Kobulnicky et al. (2014), it is an SB1.

LAMOST-O 030 = Schulte 70. Its spectral type is O9.5 IV(n) in Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016), but Its LAMOST spectrum is more like O9.5 III(n), because of higher Si iv λ4089/He i λ4026. In Kobulnicky et al. (2014), it is an SB1, with a period of 245.1 days.

LAMOST-O 031 = Schulte 17. This star is also in Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016). There is a wavelength shift between GOSSS and LAMOST spectra (ΔV ∼ 36 km s−1). In Kobulnicky et al. (2014), it is an SB1.

In Simbad, there is no spectral information about LAMOST-O 046, LAMOST-O 049, LAMOST-O 050, LAMOST-O 052, and LAMOST-O 059. Thus, these four stars may be new O-type stars.

LAMOST-O 045 = LS III +58 70. Its spectral type is B0 V in Negueruela & Marco (2003). Its LAMOST spectrum is O9.7 IV.

LAMOST-O 061 = LS I+59 5. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is B0 or OB. Its LAMOST spectrum is O7.5 V((f)).

LAMOST-O 063 = LS I+60 8. In Cruz-González et al. (1974), its spectral type is O9.5 V. Its LAMOST spectrum is O9.5 III.

LAMOST-O 066. In Russeil et al. (2007), its spectral type is O9 V. Its LAMOST spectrum is O9.5 V.

LAMOST-O 067. In Russeil et al. (2007), its spectral type is O8 V. The ratio of signal to noise of the LAMOST spectrum is very low, but it seems that the ratio of He i λ4542/He i λ4388 ∼ 1, so it is assigned O9: V.

LAMOST-O 069 = LS I+59 11. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is B or OB. Its LAMOST spectrum is O7.5 III((f)).

LAMOST-O 070 = BD+58 2636. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is B or OB. Its LAMOST spectrum is O9.2 III.

LAMOST-O 080 = BD+60 2635. This star is also in Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016). There is a wavelength shift between GOSSS and LAMOST spectra (ΔV ∼ 74 km s−1). Thus, it is an SB1.

LAMOST-O 083 = LS I+60 62. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is B or OB. Its LAMOST spectrum is O8.5 V.

LAMOST-O 086 = HD 13 022. This star is also in Sota et al. (2011). There is a wavelength shift between GOSSS and LAMOST spectra (ΔV ∼ 69 km s−1). Thus, it is an SB1.

LAMOST-O 090. This star is not in Simbad, so it may be a new O-type star.

LAMOST-O 091 = LS I+63 187. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is B or OB. The ratio He i λ4686/He i λ4713 suggests its luminosity is II–III, but its Si iv λ4089 and 4116 are too weak to suggest a higher luminosity, so it is classified as O9.7 III.

LAMOST-O 093 = BD+62 419. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is B or OB. Its LAMOST spectrum is O9.7 III.

LAMOST-O 096 = BD+62 424. This star is also in Sota et al. (2011). There is a wavelength shift between the GOSSS and LAMOST spectra (ΔV ∼ 46 km s−1). Thus, it is an SB1. The ratio of He i + II λ4200/He ii λ 4026 ∼ 1, higher than that in the GOSSS spectrum. Besides, limited by the low resolution of the LAMOST spectrum, its rotation is indiscernible. Thus, its LAMOST spectrum is O6 V((f)).

LAMOST-O 098 = BD+60 499. This star is also in Sota et al. (2011). There is a wavelength shift between GOSSS and LAMOST spectra (ΔV ∼ 54 km s−1). Thus, it is an SB1.

Standard image High-resolution image

LAMOST-O 111 = 2MASS J02461010+6015576. In Simbad, it is an infrared source without spectral information. In the LAMOST spectrum, He ii λ4200 and 4686 are clearly seen, while He ii λ4542 can be marginally seen, so it is a late O-type star.

LAMOST-O 112 = LS I+60 263. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is B or OB. Its LAMOST spectrum is O7 III((f)).

LAMOST-O 114. This spectrum is 28farcs34 away from HD 14 633. By comparing with the GOSSS spectrum in Sota et al. (2011), the LAMOST spectrum is well consistent with the GOSSS spectrum, but with low signal-to-noise ratio.

LAMOST-O 115 = LS I+55 47. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), its spectral type is also O9.5 IV.

LAMOST-O 116 = LS I+57 136. In Russeil et al. (2007), its spectral type is O9 V. Its LAMOST spectrum is O9.2 V.

LAMOST-O 119 = LS V+55 12. In Skiff (2014), its spectral type is B0 or OB. LAMOST spectrum is O9.7 II.

LAMOST-O 120 = TYC 3722-435-1. There is no spectral information for this star in Simbad.

LAMOST-O 122 = BD+50 886. This star is also in Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016). There is a wavelength shift between GOSSS and LAMOST spectra (ΔV ∼ 76 km s−1). Thus, it may be an SB1. The N iii λ4634/40/42 emission cannot be identified anymore, but the C iii λ4647/50/51 emission emerges. Thus, it is O4 V((c)).

LAMOST-O 123 = LS V+53 20. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), its spectral type is O9 V. By comparing with standard stars in GOSSS, its spectral type is more like O9.2 V.

LAMOST-O 125 = LS V+51 16. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), its spectral type is O9.2 IV(n). By comparing with standard stars in GOSSS, its spectral type is more like O9.7 V.

LAMOST-O 126 = GSC 03719-00546. In Molina Lera et al. (2018), its spectral type is O9.5 V. Its LAMOST spectrum is O9.7 V.

Standard image High-resolution image

LAMOST-O 127 = BD+52 805. This star is also in Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016) with a spectral type of O8 V(n). But both He ii λ4200/He i λ4144 and He ii λ4542/He i λ4388 are around 1, which suggest its spectral type should be O9. But, its rotation is indiscernible from the low resolution of the LAMOST spectrum. As a result, its spectral type should be O9 V. Moreover, it seems that there is a wavelength shift between GOSSS and LAMOST spectra (ΔV ∼ 32 km s−1). Thus, it may be an SB1.

LAMOST-O 128 = LS V+53 21. In Hardorp et al. (1965), its spectral type is OB+. Its LAMOST spectrum is O9.7 II.

LAMOST-O 129 = TYC 3719-1248-1. It is an eclipsing binary with a period of 5.0254 days (Collins et al. 2018).

LAMOST-O 136 = ξ Per. This spectrum is 28farcs65 away from ξ Per, but by comparing with its GOSSS spectrum in Sota et al. (2011), its LAMOST spectrum is well consistent with its GOSSS spectrum, but with a ΔV ∼ 42 km s−1.

LAMOST-O 137 = UCAC4 676-031103. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), its spectral type is O8 V((f)). But its He ii λ4542 is obviously weaker than He i λ4388, which suggests its spectral type is more like O9.5, while its luminosity seems more like III based on He ii λ4686/He i λ4713. As a result, it is classified as O9.5 III.

LAMOST-O 138 = HD 41 161. This spectrum is 7farcs48 away from HD 41 161, but its LAMOST spectrum is consistent well with the GOSSS spectrum (Sota et al. 2011), but with a ΔV ∼ 34 km s−1. Thus, it may be an SB1.

LAMOST-O 140 = TYC 2895-2762-1. In Liu et al. (2019), its spectral type is B. But its LAMOST spectrum should be O9.7 II, and its He ii λ4686 shows emission with an inverse in it. As a result, it is classified as O9.7 IIp.

LAMOST-O 142 = HD 278 247. In Roman-Lopes & Roman-Lopes (2019), its spectral type is also O4 V((f)).

LAMOST-O 143 = ALS 19710. In Liu et al. (2019), its spectral type is O8.5. But it should be O9.2 V.

LAMOST-O 145 = V* AE Aur. This spectrum is 13farcs15 away from AE Aur. By comparing with the GOSSS spectrum in Sota et al. (2011), the LAMOST spectrum is consistent well with the GOSSS spectrum, but with a ΔV ∼ 38 km s−1, which suggests it is an SB1.

Compared with the GOSSS spectrum, the He ii λ4200 He ii λ4388, He i λ4471, He ii λ4542, and Hγ in the LAMOST spectrum become stronger. As a result, the LAMOST spectrum is more like the GOSSS O8 V standard star HD 101 223. Thus, it is assigned O8 V.

5. Summary

This paper publishes 209 O-type stars with their spectra found in the LAMOST database up to 2018. Ninety-four new stars are first given. The spectral classification standards are from Sota et al. (2011, 2014) and Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016). All spectra in this paper are compared with standard stars in Table 2 in Maíz Apellániz et al. (2016) to determine spectral types. But there are still many stars that cannot be assigned correct spectral types because of the influence of their company and/or other unknown reasons.

For a star that has multiple LAMOST spectra from different epochs, or has both LAMOST and GOSSS spectra, all these spectra are compared to inspect spectral variations or/and wavelength shifts to find binaries.
