Abstract

Some early-type stars are detectable radio emitters; their spectra can present both thermal and non-thermal contributions. Here I review the public radio data on OB stars, focusing on the non-thermal sources. The analysis of the statistical results gives rise to many open questions that are expected to be addressed, at least in part, with the upgrades of current radio telescopes and the upcoming new generation instruments.
