Searching for evidence of interaction between the of star HD 229196 and the interstellar medium

Massive stars with strong stellar winds are expected to have a huge impact on their interstellar surroundings, an effect which, in a surprisingly large number of cases, is not observed. This work is part of a concerted effort to obtain a better and more homogeneous observational data base with which...

description Massive stars with strong stellar winds are expected to have a huge impact on their interstellar surroundings, an effect which, in a surprisingly large number of cases, is not observed.
