Descripción
Using original data and incorporating similar data from previous studies
we investigated the effect of extra line-broadening in the atmosphere of
Galactic O-stars. Our results suggest that if not taken into account,
the extra broadening can lead to significant overestimation of the
measured v sin i. The effect is not large (less than 30 kms), and does
not seem to depend on the luminosity class. In addition, our results
suggest that the extra line-broadening is coupled with the rotation
although the latter does not seem to be the only parameter which
determines the value of the extra broadening.
