Multi-Dimensional MHD simulations of young Core-Collapse Supernova Remnants

C. J. K. Larkin, J. Mackey, B. Reville +3

Supernova remnants (SNRs) play a central role in shaping the interstellar medium. Core-Collapse Supernova (CCSN) progenitors are massive stars, which produce a dense circumstellar…

Impact of Cosmic Ray Acceleration on the Early Evolution of Bow Shocks around Massive Runaway Stars

Keito Watanabe, Stefanie Walch, Tim-Eric Rathjen +3

Bow shocks generated from the interaction of winds from massive runaway stars with the interstellar medium have been shown to be prominent particle accelerators through recent -…

Bridging Machine Learning and Cosmological Simulations: Using Neural Operators to emulate Chemical Evolution

Pelle van de Bor, John Brennan, John A. Regan +1

The computational expense of solving non-equilibrium chemistry equations in astrophysical simulations poses a significant challenge, particularly in high-resolution, large-scale co…

Investigating dusty Red Supergiant outflows in Westerlund 1 with 3D Hydrodynamic simulations

C. J. K. Larkin, J. Mackey, T. J. Haworth +1

Recent JWST observations towards Westerlund 1 revealed extensive nebular emission associated with the cluster. Given the age of the region and proximity of that material to massive…

Connecting stellar and galactic scales: Energetic feedback from stellar wind bubbles to supernova remnants

Yvonne A. Fichtner, Jonathan Mackey, Luca Grassitelli +2

Energy and momentum feedback from stars is a key element of models for galaxy formation and interstellar medium dynamics, but resolving the relevant length scales to directly inclu…

Thermal emission from bow shocks II: 3D magnetohydrodynamic models of Zeta Ophiuchi

S. Green, J. Mackey, P. Kavanagh +3

The nearby, massive, runaway star Zeta Ophiuchi has a large bow shock detected in optical and infrared, and, uniquely among runaway O stars, diffuse X-ray emission is detected from…

IRAS 18153-1651: an H II region with a possible wind bubble blown by a young main-sequence B star

V. V. Gvaramadze, J. Mackey, A. Y. Kniazev +5

We report the results of spectroscopic observations and numerical modelling of the H II region IRAS 18153-1651. Our study was motivated by the discovery of an optical arc and two m…

StarBench: The D-type expansion of an HII region

T. G. Bisbas, T. J. Haworth, R. J. R. Williams +16

StarBench is a project focused on benchmarking and validating different star-formation and stellar feedback codes. In this first StarBench paper we perform a comparison study of th…

Models of the circumstellar medium of evolving, massive runaway stars moving through the Galactic plane

D. M. -A. Meyer, J. Mackey, N. Langer +4

At least 5 per cent of the massive stars are moving supersonically through the interstellar medium (ISM) and are expected to produce a stellar wind bow shock. We explore how the ma…

IRC-10414: a bow-shock-producing red supergiant star

V. V. Gvaramadze, K. M. Menten, A. Y. Kniazev +5

Most runaway OB stars, like the majority of massive stars residing in their parent clusters, go through the red supergiant (RSG) phase during their lifetimes. Nonetheless, although…
