Descripción
The investigation of the multiplicity of massive stars is crucial to
determine a robust binary fraction but also for understanding the
physical properties of these objects. In this contribution, we will
present the main results from our long-term spectroscopic survey devoted
to the young open cluster NGC 2244. We discuss the spectral
classification, the projected rotational velocity (v sin{i}) and the
multiplicity of O-stars. The stellar and wind parameters of each star,
obtained using the CMFGEN atmosphere code, help us to better constrain
the individual properties of these objects. Several of these stars were
observed by the CoRoT satellite (SRa02) in the Asteroseismology channel.
This intensive monitoring and the unprecedented quality of the light
curves allow us to shed a new light on these objects.
