Resumen: Stellar bow shocks produced by early-type runaway stars have being studied in small numbers. We developed a systematic search using the newest infrared data available. We studied one group of stars with already detected bow shocks to improve and analyse new infrared data, and also another group of OB runaway stars. We produce a catalogue of 28 bow shock candidates, calculate some observable parameters and obtain statistics related to spectral types, velocities and mass loss rate, among others. We expect to obtain new results with, for example, the inclusion of more spectral types, and with upcoming infrared data
