Advancing Heliophysics and Space Weather Modeling through Open Science

C. Corti, M. M. Kuznetsova, M. A. Reiss +85

We present a community-wide effort to develop a strategy and action plan to advance heliophysics and space weather modeling through open science. While open science has the potenti…

Multi-dimensional, time-dependent approximate NLTE unified model atmospheres with winds for hot, massive stars

Dwaipayan Debnath, Jon O. Sundqvist, Nicolas Moens +3

Multi-dimensional unified model atmospheres with winds of massive stars have so far been studied under the assumption of equal flux, Planck, and energy weighted mean opacities, whi…

2D unified atmosphere and wind simulations for a grid of O-type stars

Nicolas Moens, Dwaipayan Debnath, Olivier Verhamme +4

The atmospheres of massive O-type stars (O stars) are dynamic, turbulent environments resulting from radiatively driven instabilities over the iron bump, located slightly beneath t…

Spectral synthesis of 3D unified model atmospheres with winds for O stars

L. Delbroek, J. O. Sundqvist, D. Debnath +5

Spectroscopic studies of massive and luminous O-type stellar atmospheres and winds have primarily been done by using 1D, spherically symmetric and stationary models. Both observati…

Near-Eddington mass loss of hydrogen-rich Wolf-Rayet stars

Roel R. Lefever, Andreas A. C. Sander, Matheus Bernini-Peron +6

Context. Very massive clusters and regions of intense star formation such as the center of our Milky Way contain young, hydrogen-burning stars very close to the Eddington Limit. Fo…

Improving 1D stellar atmosphere models with insights from multi-dimensional simulations II. 1D versus 3D hydrodynamically consistent model comparison for WR stars

G. González-Torà, A. A. C. Sander, N. Moens +8

Classical Wolf-Rayet (cWR) stars are evolved massive stars that have lost most of their H envelope and exhibit dense, extended atmospheres with strong, line-driven winds. Accuratel…

Exploring the connection between atmosphere models and evolution models of very massive stars

Joris Josiek, Andreas A. C. Sander, Matheus Bernini-Peron +6

Very massive stars (VMS) dominate the light of young stellar populations and are sources of intense stellar feedback. Their evolution is mainly driven by strong wind mass loss, yet…

An on-the-fly line-driven-wind iterative mass-loss estimator (LIME) for hot, massive stars of arbitrary chemical compositions

J. O. Sundqvist, D. Debnath, F. Backs +7

Mass-loss rates from hot, massive stars are important for a range of astrophysical applications. We present \href{https://lime.ster.kuleuven.be/}{LIME}, a fast, efficient, and easy…

Radiation-magnetohydrodynamics with MPI-AMRVAC using flux-limited diffusion

Nishant Narechania, Rony Keppens, Asif ud-Doula +2

Context. Radiation plays a significant role in solar and astrophysical environments as it may constitute a sizeable fraction of the energy density, momentum flux, and the total pre…

Structure formation in O-type stars and Wolf-Rayet stars

C. Van der Sijpt, J. O. Sundqvist, D. Debnath +2

Turbulent small-scale structures in the envelopes and winds of massive stars have long been suggested as the cause for excessive line broadening that could not be explained by othe…

Improving 1D stellar atmosphere models with insights from multi-dimensional simulations I. 1D vs 2D stratifications and spectral comparison for O stars

G. González-Torà, A. A. C. Sander, J. O. Sundqvist +7

We compare current 1D and multi-dimensional atmosphere modelling approaches for massive stars to understand their strengths and shortcomings. We calculate averaged stratifications…

Suppression of photospheric velocity fluctuations in strongly magnetic O-stars in radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations

A. ud-Doula, J. O. Sundqvist, N. Narechania +3

O-stars generally show clear signs of strong line-broadening (in addition to rotational broadening) in their photospheric absorption lines (typically referred to as 'macroturbulenc…

2D unified atmosphere and wind simulations of O-type stars

D. Debnath, J. O. Sundqvist, N. Moens +3

Massive and luminous O-star atmospheres with winds have been studied primarily using one-dimensional (1D), spherically symmetric, and stationary models. However, observations and t…
