First 3D Radiation-Hydrodynamic Simulations of Wolf-Rayet Winds

N. Moens, L. G. Poniatowski, L. Hennicker +3

Classical Wolf Rayet (WR) stars are direct supernova progenitors undergoing vigorous mass-loss. Understanding the dense and fast outflows of such WR stars is thus crucial for under…

Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry with Polstar: Clumping and Mass-loss Rate Corrections

Ken Gayley, Jorick S. Vink, Asif ud-Doula +13

The most massive stars are thought to lose a significant fraction of their mass in a steady wind during the main-sequence and blue supergiant phases. This in turn sets the stage fo…

Binary-object spectral-synthesis in 3D (BOSS-3D) -- Modelling H-alpha emission in the enigmatic multiple system LB-1

L. Hennicker, N. D. Kee, T. Shenar +5

Context: To quantitatively decode the information stored within an observed spectrum, detailed modelling of the physical state and accurate radiative transfer solution schemes are…

Ultraviolet Line Profiles of Slowly Rotating Massive Star Winds Using the "Analytic Dynamical Magnetosphere" Formalism

C. Erba, A. David-Uraz, V. Petit +6

Recent large-scale spectropolarimetric surveys have established that a small but significant percentage of massive stars host stable, surface dipolar magnetic fields with strengths…

Shock-heated radiation-driven outflows as a solution to the weak-wind problem of late O-type stars

C. Lagae, F. A. Driessen, L. Hennicker +2

Context. Radiation-driven mass loss is key to our understanding of massive-star evolution. However, for low-luminosity O-type stars there are big discrepancies between theoreticall…

A 3D short-characteristics method for continuum and line scattering problems in the winds of hot stars

L. Hennicker, J. Puls, N. D. Kee +1

Context: Knowledge about hot, massive stars is usually inferred from quantitative spectroscopy. To analyse non-spherical phenomena, the existing 1D codes must be extended to higher…

3D radiative transfer: Continuum and line scattering in non-spherical winds from OB stars

L. Hennicker, J. Puls, N. D. Kee +1

Context: State of the art quantitative spectroscopy of OB-stars compares synthetic spectra (calculated by means of 1D, spherically symmetric computer codes) with observations. Cert…
