Turbulent viscosity in line-driven stellar winds
Matías Montesinos, Michel Cure, Ignacio Araya +1
Radiation-driven winds from massive stars generate powerful outflows known to be intrinsically turbulent. Despite this, standard hydrodynamic models have historically restricted th…
Line-driven Radiative Winds in B-Supergiants: Bridging the Gap between Fast and Slow m-CAK Solutions
Matías Montesinos, Emil Zabala-Arroyo, Juan José Castro-Salgado +2
The modified Castor, Abbott, and Klein (m-CAK) theory predicts different wind regimes based on the line force parameter for changes in ionization () and the rotation parameter (…
Gravitational to Coulomb force ratio and the origin of the Cosmic magnetic field
Nelson D. Padilla, Juan Racker, Ignacio J. Araya +1
The origin of the seeds of galactic magnetic fields is a subject that remains under debate. Here we will explore a simple source based on tiny charge asymmetries in slowly rotating…
The electric charge of black holes within galaxies
Nelson D. Padilla, Ignacio J. Araya, Federico Stasyszyn
We present improved estimates of the electric charge that black holes could hold when these are embedded in the ionised plasma within galaxies. We have implemented the spontaneous…
