Abstract:
    We present an atlas of spectra of O- and B-type stars, obtained with
    the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) during the Post-Helium program
    of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). This program is aimed at
    extending the Morgan & Keenan (1973ARA&A..11...29M) classification
    scheme into the near-infrared. Later type stars will be discussed in a
    separate publication. The observations consist of 57 SWS Post-Helium
    spectra from 2.4 to 4.1{mu}m, supplemented with 10 spectra acquired
    during the nominal mission with a similar observational setting. For
    B-type stars, this sample provides ample spectral coverage in terms of
    subtype and luminosity class. For O-type stars, the ISO sample is
    coarse and therefore is complemented with 8 UKIRT L'-band
    observations. In terms of the presence of diagnostic lines, the
    L'-band is likely the most promising of the near-infrared atmospheric
    windows for the study of the physical properties of B stars.
    Specifically, this wavelength interval contains the Br{alpha},
    Pf{gamma}, and other Pfund lines which are probes of spectral type,
    luminosity class and mass loss. Here, we present simple empirical
    methods based on the lines present in the 2.4 to 4.1{mu}m interval
    that allow the determination of i) the spectral type of B dwarfs and
    giants to within two subtypes; ii) the luminosity class of B stars to
    within two classes; iii) the mass-loss rate of O stars and B
    supergiants to within 0.25dex.
