PION: Simulations of Wind-Blown Nebulae
Jonathan Mackey, Samuel Green, Maria Moutzouri +6
We present an overview of PION, an open-source software project for solving radiation-magnetohydrodynamics equations on a nested grid, aimed at modelling asymmetric nebulae around…
Thermal emission from bow shocks II: 3D magnetohydrodynamic models of Zeta Ophiuchi
S. Green, J. Mackey, P. Kavanagh +3
The nearby, massive, runaway star Zeta Ophiuchi has a large bow shock detected in optical and infrared, and, uniquely among runaway O stars, diffuse X-ray emission is detected from…
PION: Simulating bow shocks and circumstellar nebulae
Jonathan Mackey, Samuel Green, Maria Moutzouri +4
Expanding nebulae are produced by mass loss from stars, especially during late stages of evolution. Multi-dimensional simulation of these nebulae requires high resolution near the…
Simulations of Magnetised Stellar-Wind Bubbles
Jonathan Mackey, Samuel Green, Maria Moutzouri
Initial results are presented from 3D MHD modelling of stellar-wind bubbles around O stars moving supersonically through the ISM. We describe algorithm updates that enable high-res…
Thermal emission from bow shocks I: 2D Hydrodynamic Models of the Bubble Nebula
Samuel Green, Jonathan Mackey, Thomas J. Haworth +2
The Bubble Nebula (or NGC 7635) is a parsec-scale seemingly spherical wind-blown bubble around the relatively unevolved O star BD+602522. The small dynamical age of the neb…
