I will report on two projects: The COBRaS E-Merlin survey of Cygnus OB2 and the BOSS search for bow shocks around massive stars.
The Cygnus OB2 association is a nearby (1.2-1.8 kpc) young (~2-3 Myr) massive star cluster, that is tremendously rich in massive stars with strong stellar winds. The region will be studied using e-MERLIN as part of the COBRaS (Cygnus OB2 Radio Survey) project. The COBRaS project will enable studies of this region in areas of 1) mass-loss from massive stars, 2) radio astrometry yielding information on cluster dynamics, 3) binarity and colliding stellar winds and 4) ongoing and triggered star formation.
The BOw Shock Survey (BOSS) is a multiwavelength search for bow shocks around massive stars. I will briefly discuss this project and present results with the VLA and GMRT on one particular object, which is a runaway star from Cyg OB2.
