Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324
The paper summarizes 70 science cases for the proposed NASA Habitable Worlds Observatory, outlining the observational needs across four scientific pillars and detailing required ca…
Exploring the binary origin of B and Be rapid rotators
Jonathan Labadie-Bartz, Mark Suffak, Carol Jones +8
Observational evidence has continued to mount that a significant fraction of rapidly rotating early-B type stars are products of binary mass transfer. However, very few mid- and la…
Polarization from Rapidly Rotating Massive Stars
J. Patrick Harrington, Richard Ignace, Kenneth G. Gayley
Stellar rotation has long been recognized as important to the evolution of stars, by virtue of the chemical mixing it can induce and how it interacts with binary mass transfer. Bin…
High energy emission powered by accreting companions of Be/gamma Cas stars
Rina G. Rast, Yael Naze, Jonathan Labadie-Bartz +6
The origin of the hard, bright X-ray emission that defines the gamma Cas analog class of Be stars remains an outstanding question in Be star literature. This work explores the poss…
Efficiency of viscous angular momentum transport in dissipating Be binaries
Peter Quigley, Carol E. Jones, Kenneth Gayley +9
Angular momentum transport is a fundamental process shaping the structure, evolution, and lifespans of stars and disks across a wide range of astrophysical systems. Be stars offer…
The Second Stellar Spectrum: Rotating hot massive star linear spectropolarimetry with the Ohman Effect
J. Patrick Harrington, R. Ignace, K. G. Gayley +1
To understand better the polarized radiative transfer near the surface of rotating massive stars that remain nearly spherically symmetric, we use plane-parallel stellar atmosphere…
