Abstract

The improvement of the astronomical instrumentation allowed scientists to develop new analysis techniques to investigate binary and multiple stars. In this context, we present the preliminary results of an intense monitoring devoted to the triple system, HD 150136. Supposed to be the nearest O3 star (1.3 kpc), this object is also composed of two other early O-type stars, making it one of the most massive systems known until now (~ 134Mʘ). This multiple star is a non-thermal radio emitter and presents a colliding wind interaction zone. To determine the physical parameters of this system, we applied a disentangling program to study individually the three components. It allows us to revise their spectral classification and to derive a new orbital solution for the short-period system but also the first one for the entire system.
