HD 166734 ESPRESSO spectra

Finally, we disentangled the spectra of the two stars and modeled them with the CMFGEN atmosphere code in order to determine the individual physical parameters. HD 166734 is a O7.5If+O9I(f) binary. We confirm its orbital period but we revise the other orbital parameters.

In comparison to what we found in the literature, the system is more eccentric and, now, the hottest and the most luminous component is also the most massive one. The light curve exhibits only one eclipse and its analysis indicates an inclination of 63.0+/-2.7{deg}. The photometric analysis provides us with a good estimation of the luminosities of the stars, and therefore their exact positions in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.

The evolutionary and the spectroscopic masses show good agreement with the dynamical masses of 39.5M_{sun}_ for the primary and 33.5M_{sun}_ for the secondary, within the uncertainties. The two components are both enriched in helium and in nitrogen and depleted in carbon. In addition, the primary also shows a depletion in oxygen.

Their surface abundances are however not different from those derived from single supergiant stars, yielding, for both components, an evolution similar to that
