A targeted radio survey of infrared-selected bow shock candidates

M. Moutzouri, J. Mackey, N. Castro +8

Bow shocks around massive stars have primarily been detected in IR emission, but radio detections are becoming more frequent with the commissioning of sensitive and large field-of-…

Thermal emission from bow shocks. III. Variable diffuse X-ray emission from stellar-wind bow shocks driven by dynamical instabilities

Jonathan Mackey, Arun Mathew, Ahmad A. Ali +5

X-ray emission from wind-driven bow shocks is both difficult to measure and predict, but may give important insights into the energy budget of the hot phase of the ISM by quantifyi…

And then they were two: detection of non-thermal radio emission from the bow shocks of two runaway stars

M. Moutzouri, J. Mackey, C. Carrasco González +7

Winds from massive stars have recently been deemed promising sites for investigating relativistic particle acceleration. Particularly, the resulting bow shock from the interaction…

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…
