Context. Many massive stars have nearby companions. These hamper a characterization of massive stars through spectroscopy.Aims. We continue to obtain spatially resolved spectroscopy of close massive visual binaries to derive their spectral types.Methods. We used the lucky spectroscopy technique to obtain a large number of short long-slit spectroscopic exposures of 19 close visual binaries under good seeing conditions. We selected those with the best characteristics, extracted the spectra using multiple-profile fitting, and combined the results to derive spatially separated spectra. The results were analyzed in combination with data from lucky imaging, regular intermediate-resolution single-order spectroscopy, and echelle high-resolution spectroscopy.Results. The new application of lucky spectroscopy has allowed us (among other results) to [a] spatially disentangle two O stars (FN CMa B and 6 Cas B) with brighter BA supergiant companions for the first time; [b] determine that two B stars (alpha Sco B and HD 164 492 B) with close and more massive companions are fast rotators (in the second case, solving a case of mistaken identity); [c] extend the technique to cases with extreme magnitude differences (the previous two cases plus CS Cam A,B), shorter separations (HD 193 443 A,B), and fainter primary magnitudes down to B=11 (HD 219 460 A,B); [d] spatially disentangle the spectra of stars with companions as diverse as an A supergiant (6 Cas A), a Wolf-Rayet star (HD 219 460 B = WR 157), and an M supergiant (alpha Sco A); [e] discover the unexpected identity of some targets such as two previously unknown bright O stars (HD 51 756 B and BD +60 544) and a new member of the rare OC category (HD 8768 A); and [f] identify and classify (in some cases for the first time) which of the components of four visual binaries (sigma Ori, HD 219 460, HD 194 649, and HD 191 201) is a double-lined spectroscopic binary. For another seven systems (FN CMa, sigma Sco, HD 51 756, HD 218 195, HD 17 520, HD 24 431, and HD 164 492), we detect signs of spectroscopic binarity using high-spectral-resolution spectroscopy. We also determine the limits of the technique. © ESO 2021. ; J.M.A., C.F., A.S., M.P.G., and G.H. acknowledge support from the Spanish Government Ministerio de Ciencia through grant PGC2018-095049-B-C22.

This paper is based on (a) lucky (and regular longslit) spectroscopy obtained with the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) on the island of La Palma, Spain; (b) lucky imaging obtained with the 2.2m Telescope at the Centro Astronomico Hispano en Andalucia (CAHA) in Almeria, Spain; (c) IFU spectroscopy obtained with the 2 m Liverpool Telescope (LT) at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) on the island of La Palma, Spain as part of GOSSS; (d) long-slit spectroscopy obtained with the 2.5 duPont Telescope at the Observatorio de Las Campanas (LCO) in Chile; and (e) high-resolution echelle spectroscopy from the LiLiMaRlin project obtained with a variety of spectrographs: HERMES at the 1.2 m Mercator Telescope (MT) at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) on the island of La Palma, Spain; ELODIE at the 1.93 m Observatoire de Haute-Provence (OHP) Telescope, France; FEROS at the 2.2 m Telescope of the Observatorio de La Silla in Chile; CAFE at the 2.2 m Centro Astronomico Hispano en Andalucia (CAHA) Telescope, Almeria, Spain; FIES at the 2.5 Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) on the island of La Palma, Spain; and UVES at the 8.2 m Kueyen Telescope at the Observatorio Paranal in Chile. Some of the MT and NOT data were obtained from the IACOB spectroscopic database (Simon-Diaz et al. 2011b,a, 2015b).

Context. Multiplicity in massive stars is key to understanding the chemical and dynamical evolution of galaxies. Among massive stars, those of O type play a crucial role due to their high masses and short lifetimes. Aims: MONOS (Multiplicity Of Northern O-type Spectroscopic systems) is a project designed to collect information and study O-type spectroscopic binaries with ¿ > -20°. In this first paper we describe the sample and provide spectral classifications and additional information for objects with previous spectroscopic and/or eclipsing binary orbits. In future papers we will test the validity of previous solutions and calculate new spectroscopic orbits. Methods: The spectra in this paper have two sources: the Galactic O-Star Spectroscopic Survey (GOSSS), a project that obtains blue-violet R ¿ 2500 spectroscopy of thousands of massive stars, and LiLiMaRlin, a library of libraries of high-resolution spectroscopy of massive stars obtained from four different surveys (CAFÉ-BEANS, OWN, IACOB, and NoMaDS) and additional data from our own observing programs and public archives. We have also used lucky images obtained with AstraLux. Results: We present homogeneous spectral classifications for 92 O-type spectroscopic multiple systems and ten optical companions, many of them original. We discuss the visual multiplicity of each system with the support of AstraLux images and additional sources. For eleven O-type objects and for six B-type objects we present their first GOSSS spectral classifications. For two known eclipsing binaries we detect double absorption lines (SB2) or a single moving line (SB1) for the first time, to which we add a third system reported by us recently. For two previous SB1 systems we detect their SB2 nature for the first time and give their first separate spectral classifications, something we have also done for a third object just recently identified as a SB2. We also detect nine new astrometric companions and provide updated information on several others. We emphasize the results for two stars: for ¿ Ori AaAbB we provide spectral classifications for the three components with a single observation for the first time thanks to a lucky spectroscopy observation obtained close to the Aa,Ab periastron and for ¿1 Ori CaCb we add it to the class of Galactic Of?p stars, raising the number of its members to six. Our sample of O-type spectroscopic binaries contains more triple- or higher-order systems than double systems.© ESO 2019. ; Several authors acknowledge support from the Spanish Government Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades through different grants: AYA2016-75931-C2-1/2-P (J.M.A., E.T.P., A.S., and E.J.A.), AYA2015-68 012-C2-1/2-P (E.T.P., I.N., S.S.-D., J.L., and A.M.), AYA2016-79 425-C3-2-P (J.A.C.), and SEV2015-0548 (S.S.-D.).
