Descripción
The Carina Nebula is one of the major and more massive regions of our Galaxy that contains a large number of massive O-type stars that can be analyzed. Benefiting from astrometry by Gaia DR3 and high-quality spectra from different surveys and stellar libraries, a detailed spectroscopic characterization of its O-type stellar content can be performed. To this aim, a high-degree of completeness in the census of its early-type population is mandatory. In this contribution we present the most complete census of OB stars ever done in Carina, including an updated estimate of the binary fraction of O stars and potential OB runaway candidates. Using high-resolution Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) and OWN spectra, we derive accurate rotational and stellar parameters for the O population in the region, obtaining a reliable distribution of rotational velocities and the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, from which we inspect the main physical properties of cluster members and test theoretical evolutionary models.
