Descripción
This is the third installment of the Galactic O-Star Spectroscopic
Survey (GOSSS), a massive spectroscopic survey of Galactic O stars,
based on new homogeneous, high signal-to-noise ratio, R ˜ 2500
digital observations selected from the Galactic O-Star Catalog. In this
paper, we present 142 additional stellar systems with O stars from both
hemispheres, bringing the total of O-type systems published within the
project to 590. Among the new objects, there are 20 new O stars. We also
identify 11 new double-lined spectroscopic binaries, 6 of which are of
O+O type and 5 of O+B type, and an additional new tripled-lined
spectroscopic binary of O+O+B type. We also revise some of the previous
GOSSS classifications, present some egregious examples of stars
erroneously classified as O-type in the past, introduce the use of
luminosity class IV at spectral types O4-O5.5, and adapt the
classification scheme to the work of Arias et al.
The GOSSS spectroscopic data in this article were gathered with five
facilities: the 1.5 m Telescope at the Observatorio de Sierra
Nevada (OSN), the 2.5 m du Pont Telescope at Las Campanas
Observatory (LCO), the 3.5 m Telescope at Calar Alto Observatory
(CAHA), and the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and
10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) at Observatorio del Roque de
los Muchachos (ORM).
