The atmosphere models in particular account for the stellar wind and include non-LTE effects and line blanketing. We provide an extensive set of calculations from tracks between 20 and 120 Msun at Z=0.02 (solar metallicity) and Z=0.004. They cover the entire parameter space of O3--B0 stars of all luminosity classes. Model uncertainties are discussed in the light of recent EUV and X-ray observations. We show the importance of using adequate O star ionising fluxes for the interpretation of HII regions, young starbursts and related objects.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-12-22T18:23:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "atmosphere models", "stellar structure", "revised ionising fluxes", "massive stars", "entire parameter space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 413200 } } }
