Carbon-rich dust injected into the interstellar medium by Galactic WC binaries survives for hundreds of years
Noel D. Richardson, Micaela Henson, Emma P. Lieb +23
Some carbon-rich Wolf-Rayet stars (WC stars) show an infrared excess from dust emission. Dust forms in the collision of the WC wind with a companion star's wind. As this dust is ca…
Using CHIRON Spectroscopy to Test the Hypothesis of a Precessing Orbit for the WN4 star EZ CMa
Krister DG. Barclay, Sophie Rosu, Noel D. Richardson +4
The bright WN4 star EZ CMa exhibits a 3.77 day periodicity in photometry, spectroscopy, and polarimetry but the variations in the measurements are not strictly phase-locked, exhibi…
Modeling Variable Linear Polarization Produced by Co-Rotating Interaction Regions (CIRs) Across Optical Recombination Lines of Wolf-Rayet Stars
R Ignace, J E Bjorkman, A-N Chene +5
Massive star winds are structured both stochastically ("clumps") and often coherently (Co-rotation Interaction Regions, or CIRs). Evidence for CIRs threading the winds of Wolf-Raye…
A massive helium star with a sufficiently strong magnetic field to form a magnetar
T. Shenar, G. A. Wade, P. Marchant +13
Magnetars are highly magnetized neutron stars; their formation mechanism is unknown. Hot helium-rich stars with spectra dominated by emission lines are known as Wolf-Rayet stars. W…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity. I. Project Description
Jorick S. Vink, A. Mehner, P. A. Crowther +78
Observations of individual massive stars, super-luminous supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and gravitational-wave events involving spectacular black-hole mergers, indicate that the low…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity. III. Terminal wind speeds of ULLYSES massive stars
C. Hawcroft, H. Sana, L. Mahy +26
The winds of massive stars have an impact on stellar evolution and on the surrounding medium. The maximum speed reached by these outflows, the terminal wind speed, is a global wind…
