Anti-Solar Differential Rotation May Have Revived Magnetic Braking in the Subgiant 31 Aquilae

Travis S. Metcalfe, Jennifer L. van Saders, Thomas R. Ayres +16

Recent observations have shown that sufficiently slow rotation disrupts the organization of large-scale magnetic field in older main-sequence stars, leading to weakened magnetic br…

Editorial: Mass and Angular Momentum Transport of Rapidly Rotating Hot Stars

P. A. Scowen, Carol E. Jones, René D. Oudmaijer +2

This dedicated journal collection will present and discuss a variety of science cases that can be used to extend our knowledge of massive stars and the influence of their rapid rot…

Exploring the binary origin of B and Be rapid rotators

Jonathan Labadie-Bartz, Mark Suffak, Carol Jones +8

Observational evidence has continued to mount that a significant fraction of rapidly rotating early-B type stars are products of binary mass transfer. However, very few mid- and la…

Predicted observational effects of rapid rotation for Be stars

Rina G. Rast, Carol E. Jones, Mark W. Suffak +6

We conduct a systematic study on the effects of rapid rotation on predicted Be star observables. We use the three-dimensional Monte Carlo radiative transfer code, \textsc{hdust}, t…

High energy emission powered by accreting companions of Be/gamma Cas stars

Rina G. Rast, Yael Naze, Jonathan Labadie-Bartz +6

The origin of the hard, bright X-ray emission that defines the gamma Cas analog class of Be stars remains an outstanding question in Be star literature. This work explores the poss…

Efficiency of viscous angular momentum transport in dissipating Be binaries

Peter Quigley, Carol E. Jones, Kenneth Gayley +9

Angular momentum transport is a fundamental process shaping the structure, evolution, and lifespans of stars and disks across a wide range of astrophysical systems. Be stars offer…

High-resolution Pan-STARRS and SMA observations of IRAS 23077+6707: A giant edge-on protoplanetary disk

Kristina Monsch, Joshua B. Lovell, Ciprian T. Berghea +6

We present resolved images of IRAS 23077+6707 ("Dracula's Chivito") in 1.3 mm/225 GHz thermal dust and CO gas emission with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) and optical (0.5-$0.8\,μ\m…

Dracula's Chivito: discovery of a large edge-on protoplanetary disk with Pan-STARRS

Ciprian T. Berghea, Ammar Bayyari, Michael L. Sitko +6

We report the serendipitous discovery of a large edge-on protoplanetary disk associated with the infrared source IRAS 23077+6707. The disk's apparent size in the Pan-STARRS (PS1) i…

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey

M. G. Guarcello, E. Flaccomio, J. F. Albacete-Colombo +48

Context. With a mass exceeding several 10^4 solar masses and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters represent the most massive star-forming…
