X-rays, clumping and stellar wind structures
Lidia Oskinova, Wolf-Rainer Hamann, Richard Ignace +1
X-ray emission is ubiquitous among massive stars. In the last decade, X-ray observations revolutionized our perception of stellar winds but opened a Pandora's box of urgent problem…
Polarization Variability Arising from Clumps in the Winds of Wolf-Rayet Stars
Q. Li, J. P. Cassinelli, J. C. Brown +1
The polarimetric and photometric variability of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars as caused by clumps in the winds, is revisited. In the model which is improved from Li et al. 2000, the radial…
O/IR Polarimetry for the 2010 Decade (SSE): Science at the Edge, Sharp Tools for All
Jennifer L. Hoffman, Dean C. Hines, Andy Adamson +16
Science opportunities and recommendations concerning optical/infrared polarimetry for the upcoming decade in the fields of stars and stellar evolution. Community-based White Paper…
O/IR Polarimetry for the 2010 Decade (PSF): Science at the Edge, Sharp Tools for All
Dan Clemens, B. -G. Andersson, Andy Adamson +16
Science opportunities and recommendations concerning optical/infrared polarimetry for the upcoming decade in the fields of planetary systems and star formation. Community-based Whi…
Discovery of X-ray Emission from the Wolf-Rayet star WR142 of oxygen subtype
L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann, A. Feldmeier +2
We report the discovery of weak yet hard X-ray emission from the Wolf-Rayet (WR) star WR142 with the XMM-Newton X-ray telescope. Being of spectral subtype WO2, WR142 is a massive s…
Magnetic fields in O-type stars measured with FORS1 at the VLT
S. Hubrig, M. Schoeller, R. S. Schnerr +4
The presence of magnetic fields in O-type stars has been suspected for a long time. The discovery of such fields would explain a wide range of well documented enigmatic phenomena i…
