UV Spectropolarimetry with Polstar: Massive Star Binary Colliding Winds
Nicole St-Louis, Kenneth Gayley, D. John Hillier +13
The winds of massive stars are important for their direct impact on the interstellar medium, and for their influence on the final state of a star prior to it exploding as a superno…
Modeling the Optical to Ultraviolet Polarimetric Variability from Thomson Scattering in Colliding Wind Binaries
Richard Ignace, Andrew Fullard, Manisha Shrestha +5
Massive star binaries are critical laboratories for measuring masses and stellar wind mass-loss rates. A major challenge is inferring viewing inclination and extracting information…
New mass estimates for massive binary systems: a probabilistic approach using polarimetric radiative transfer
Andrew G. Fullard, John T. O'Brien, Wolfgang E. Kerzendorf +4
Understanding the evolution of massive binary stars requires accurate estimates of their masses. This understanding is critically important because massive star evolution can poten…
Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry with Polstar: Massive Star Binary Colliding Winds
Nicole St-Louis, Kenneth Gayley, Desmond John Hillier +13
As sources of chemical enrichment, ionizing radiation and energetic feedback, massive stars drive the ecology of their host galaxies despite their relative rarity, additionally to…
Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry:Conservative and Nonconservative Mass Transfer in OB Interacting Binaries
Geraldine J. Peters, Ken Gayley, Richard Ignace +11
One objective of the Polstar spectropolarimetry mission is to characterize the degree of nonconservative mass transfer that occurs at various stages of binary evolution, from the i…
A High-Velocity Scatterer Revealed in the Thinning Ejecta of a Type II Supernova
Douglas C. Leonard, Luc Dessart, D. John Hillier +7
We present deep, nebular-phase spectropolarimetry of the Type II-P/L SN 2013ej, obtained 167 days after explosion with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. The…
