We have constructed a comprehensive grid of 690 metal line-blanketed, NLTE, plane-parallel, hydrostatic model atmospheres for the basic parameters appropriate to O-type stars. The OSTAR2002 grid considers 12 values of effective temperatures, 27500K < Teff < 55000K with 2500K steps, 8 surface gravities, 3.0 < log g< 4.75 with 0.25 dex steps, and 10 chemical compositions, from metal-rich relative to the Sun to metal-free. The lower limit of log g for a given effective temperature is set by an approximate location of the Eddington limit. The selected chemical compositions have been chosen to cover a number of typical environments of massive stars: the galactic center, the Magellanic Clouds, Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies like I Zw 18, and galaxies at high redshifts. The paper contains a description of the OSTAR2002 grid and some illustrative examples and comparisons. The complete OSTAR2002 grid is available at our website at http://tlusty.gsfc.nasa.gov.

  1. Fe K$\alpha$ line from the Broad Line Region of PDS456 with XRISM/Resolve

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    XRISM/Resolve reveals a narrow, blueshifted neutral Fe Kα line (EW ≈ 9 eV, v_out ≈ 2700 km/s) in quasar PDS 456, likely from the outer Broad Line Region at the high-luminosity end of the X-ray Baldwin effect.

  2. The Zero-Age Massive Stellar Population of W49A from VLA Observations

    astro-ph.GA 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The high-mass stellar population of W49A, traced by 101 H II regions, shows a steep mass function slope (Gamma > 2.5) compared to the standard Salpeter slope of 1.35, implying a deficit of the most massive stars.

  3. The symphony of pulsations and binarity among massive stars using HERMES spectroscopy and TESS photometry

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An ensemble analysis of 873 O/B stars shows photometric variability in >93%, pulsations in ~82%, and evidence of binarity in at least 14%, including 30 newly discovered eclipsing binaries.

  4. Unravelling Mass Transfer in Algols from Surface Abundances. I. Z Vulpeculae

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Z Vul's donor star shows a C/N ratio of 2.14, lacking the deep carbon depletion expected after mass stripping, and the fitted models favor nearly conservative Case A mass transfer.
