Taming the Tarantula: How Stellar Wind Feedback Shapes Gas and Dust in 30 Doradus

Jennifer A. Rodriguez, Laura A. Lopez, Lachlan Lancaster +5

Observations of massive star-forming regions show that classical stellar wind models over-predict the luminosity of the X-ray emitting gas, indicating a significant fraction of win…

Investigating the Gamma-Ray Emission from Explosive Dispersal Outflows with Fermi-LAT

Paarmita Pandey, Stephen C. Lenker, Laura A. Lopez +6

We present the first systematic study of explosive dispersal outflows (EDOs) as potential sources of high-energy emission in the Milky Way. EDOs are energetic outflows produced dur…

Constraining the Diffusion Coefficient and Cosmic-Ray Acceleration Efficiency using Gamma-ray Emission from the Star-Forming Region RCW 38

Paarmita Pandey, Laura A. Lopez, Anna L. Rosen +3

Stellar winds from massive stars may be significant sources of cosmic rays (CRs). To investigate this connection, we report a detailed study of gamma-ray emission near the young Mi…

Detection of Diffuse Hot Gas Around the Young, Potential Superstar Cluster H72.97-69.39

Trinity L. Webb, Jennifer A. Rodriguez, Laura A. Lopez +6

We present the first Chandra X-ray observations of H72.97-69.39, a highly-embedded, potential super-star cluster (SSC) in its infancy located in the star-forming complex N79 of the…

A Multiwavelength Study of the Massive Colliding Wind Binary WR 20a: A Possible Progenitor for Fast-Spinning LIGO Binary Black Hole Mergers

Grace M. Olivier, Laura A. Lopez, Katie Auchettl +7

WR 20a is the most massive close-in binary known in our Galaxy. It is composed of two 80 M Wolf-Rayet stars with a short period of 3.7 days in the open cl…
