Descripción
We consider the Orion Nebula (M 42) within a project aimed at studying the interaction between massive stars and their surrounding ISM. This is an HII region ionized by θ1 Ori C, one of the four massive stars in the Trapezium Cluster. θ1 Ori C has the earliest spectral type (O7Vp) among them, emitting an ionizing flux several orders of magnitude larger than those of the other stars. We present a spectral analysis of the Trapezium Cluster stars to determine their stellar parameters. We use spectra between 4250 - 4750 Å and compare them with synthetic spectra obtained by means of an updated version of FASTWIND that includes an approximated treatment of metal-line blanketing.
