Survey the OB stars in the Galaxy, tracing the 3D extinction in the Galactic Plane. 2. Gaia-RVS. Whole sky down to 17th magnitude Å at R ~ , ~10 4 O stars, many more B stars. 3. Gaia-ESO. Clusters and Galactic field in the south. OB stars at R ~ but only Carina Nebula in large numbers (~800). 1. Completed/ongoing surveys

27 The GALANTE survey Main objectives: Identify all OB stars and all Hα excess stars in the Northern Galactic Plane down to magnitude 16. Estimate Teff for the sample above. Measure E( ) and R5495 for the OBA stars in the sample by cross-matching with 2MASS. Sample additional objectives: Detect previously unidentified high proper-motion stars. Obtain a homogeneous sample of Ae/Be stars.

28 The GALANTE survey Possible extensions: Deep surveys of interesting regions. The time domain. Beyond the Galactic Plane: Orion, M31, M33 Additional filters: Ca triplet window, Na I D1+D2, TiO Twin telescope in the South.
