Description
We consider the Orion Nebula (M 42) within a project aimed at studying
the interaction between massive stars and their surrounding ISM. This
is an HII region ionized by θ1 Ori C, one of the four
massive stars in the Trapezium Cluster. θ1 Ori C has
the earliest spectral type (O7Vp) among them, emitting an ionizing flux
several orders of magnitude larger than those of the other stars. We
present a spectral analysis of the Trapezium Cluster stars to determine
their stellar parameters. We use spectra between 4250 - 4750 Å
and compare them with synthetic spectra obtained by means of an updated
version of FASTWIND that includes an approximated treatment of
metal-line blanketing.
