In particular we give explicit results for the one-loop corrections and for the singular contributions from real emission processes. Our formulae allow for the computation of the NLO 3-jet contributions to the forward-backward asymmetry for heavy flavours, which is -- and will be -- an important observable for electroweak physics at present and future e^+e^- colliders.24 pages, 2 figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyNext-to-leading order QCD corrections to parity-violating 3-jet observables for massive quarks in e^+e^- annihilationtext
