Helium-rich O-type stars show nitrogen abundances that do not match single-star model predictions and are interpreted as binary interaction products, while helium-normal stars align better except for luminosity class III objects where models overpredict enrichment.
To assess this effect, we performed a consistency check by reanalyzing our sample with IACOB-GBAT (Simón-Díaz et al

The IACOB project: XVII. Nitrogen abundances in Galactic O-type stars: further hints for separating binary-interaction products from effectively single stars
Helium-rich O-type stars show nitrogen abundances that do not match single-star model predictions and are interpreted as binary interaction products, while helium-normal stars align better except for luminosity class III objects where models overpredict enrichment.
