New Insights from Revisiting the Rotation Period of the Strongly Magnetic O Star, NGC 1624-2
S. Seadrow, V. Petit, G. A. Wade +5
NGC 1624-2 hosts the strongest surface magnetic field found on an O star thus far. When applied across several epochs of observations, the star's currently accepted rotation period…
Discovery of the binary nature of the magnetospheric B-type star Oph A
M. E. Shultz, I. Berry, D. Bohlender +11
The nearby B-type star Oph A was recently identified as a rapidly rotating magnetic B-type star with variable radio and X-ray emission consistent with a magnetospheric origin.…
X-ray and radio data obtained by XMM-Newton and VLA constrain the stellar wind of the magnetic quasi-Wolf-Rayet star in HD45166
P. Leto, L. M. Oskinova, T. Shenar +9
Recently, a powerful magnetic field was discovered in the hot helium star classified as a quasi-Wolf-Rayet star of ~2Msun, member of the HD45166 system. Upon its explosion as a cor…
The highly magnetic Wolf-Rayet binary HD 45166 resolved with VLTI/GRAVITY
K. Deshmukh, T. Shenar, A. Mérand +9
HD 45166 was recently reported to be a long-period binary comprising a B7V star and a highly magnetic (kG) hot Wolf-Rayet-like component, dubbed a…
HD 34736: An intensely magnetised double-lined spectroscopic binary with rapidly-rotating chemically peculiar B-type components
E. Semenko, O. Kochukhov, Z. Mikulášek +21
We report the results of a comprehensive study of the spectroscopic binary (SB2) system HD 34736 hosting two chemically peculiar (CP) late B-type stars. Using new and archival obse…
Untangling magnetic massive star properties with linear polarization variability and the Analytic Dynamical Magnetosphere model
M. S. Munoz, G. A. Wade, D. M. Faes +2
Light scattered off particles can become linearly polarized. Stars surrounded by oblique, co-rotating envelopes are therefore expected to manifest periodic linear polarimetric vari…
Investigating the origin of cyclical wind variability in hot, massive stars - II. Hydrodynamical simulations of co-rotating interaction regions using realistic spot parameters for the O giant Persei
A. David-Uraz, S. P. Owocki, G. A. Wade +2
OB stars exhibit various types of spectral variability historically associated with wind structures, including the apparently ubiquitous discrete absorption components (DACs). Thes…
Magnetic massive stars as progenitors of "heavy" stellar-mass black holes
V. Petit, Z. Keszthelyi, R. MacInnis +7
The groundbreaking detection of gravitational waves produced by the inspiralling and coalescence of the black hole (BH) binary GW150914 confirms the existence of "heavy" stellar-ma…
