Angular Momentum Loss and Stellar spin-down in Magnetic Massive Stars
Asif ud-Doula, Stanley P. Owocki, Richard H. D. Townsend
We examine the angular momentum loss and associated rotational spin-down for magnetic hot stars with a line-driven stellar wind and a rotation-aligned dipole magnetic field. Our an…
Dynamical Simulations of Magnetically Channeled Line-Driven Stellar Winds: III. Angular Momentum Loss and Rotational Spindown
Asif ud-Doula, Stanley P. Owocki, Richard H. D. Townsend
We examine the angular momentum loss and associated rotational spindown for magnetic hot stars with a line-driven stellar wind and a rotation-aligned dipole magnetic field. Our ana…
Exploring the photometric signatures of magnetospheres around Helium-strong stars
R. H. D. Townsend
The photometric variations due to magnetically confined material around He-strong stars are investigated within the framework of the Rigidly Rotating Magnetosphere (RRM) model. For…
The most rapidly rotating He-strong emission line star: HR7355
Th. Rivinius, S. Stefl, R. H. D. Townsend +1
Using archival spectroscopic and photometric data, we searched for massive stars with Balmer-emission consistent with magnetically confined circumstellar material. HR 7355 is a for…
Dynamical Simulations of Magnetically Channeled Line-Driven Stellar Winds: II. The Effects of Field-Aligned Rotation
Asif ud-Doula, Stanley Owocki, Richard Townsend
Building upon our previous MHD simulation study of magnetic channeling in radiatively driven stellar winds, we examine here the additional dynamical effects of stellar {\em rotatio…
The coupling between pulsation and mass loss in massive stars
Rich Townsend
To what extent can pulsational instabilities resolve the mass-loss problem of massive stars? How important is pulsation in structuring and modulating the winds of these stars? What…
