Abstract
AbstractThe e-MERLIN Cyg OB2 Radio Survey (COBRaS) is designed to exploit e-MERLIN's enhanced capabilities to conduct uniquely probing, targeted deep-field mapping of the massive Cyg OB2 association in our Galaxy. The project aims to deliver (between 2010 to 2013) the most detailed radio census for the most massive OB association in the northern hemisphere, offering direct comparison to not only massive clusters in general, but also young globular clusters and super star clusters. With the COBRaS Legacy project we will assemble a uniform dataset of lasting value that is critical for advancing our understanding of current astrophysical problems in the inter-related core themes of (i) mass loss and evolution of massive stars, (ii) the formation, dynamics and content of massive OB associations, and (iii) the frequency of massive binaries and the incidence of non-thermal radiation.
