3D MHD models of the centrifugal magnetosphere from a massive star with an oblique dipole field

Asif ud-Doula, Stanley P. Owocki, Christopher Russell +2

We present results from new self-consistent 3D MHD simulations of the magnetospheres from massive stars with a dipole magnetic axis that has a non-zero obliquity angle () to the…

Nested Dust Shells around the Wolf-Rayet Binary WR 140 observed with JWST

Ryan M. Lau, Matthew J. Hankins, Yinuo Han +29

Massive colliding-wind binaries that host a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star present a potentially important source of dust and chemical enrichment in the interstellar medium (ISM). However, t…

Eta Carinae: an evolving view of the central binary, its interacting winds and its foreground ejecta

Theodore R. Gull, D. John Hillier, Henrik Hartman +13

FUV spectra of Eta Car, recorded across two decades with HST/STIS, document multiple changes in resonant lines caused by dissipating extinction in our line of sight. The FUV flux h…

Conditions in the WR 140 wind-collision region revealed by the 1.083-micron He I line profile

Peredur M. Williams, Watson P. Varricatt, André-Nicolas Chené +10

We present spectroscopy of the P~Cygni profile of the 1.083-micron He I line in the WC7 + O5 colliding-wind binary (CWB) WR 140 (HD 193793), observed in 2008, before its periastron…

The VVV Infrared Variability Catalog (VIVA-I)

C. E. Ferreira Lopes, N. J. G. Cross, M. Catelan +17

Thanks to the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) ESO Public Survey it is now possible to explore a large number of objects in those regions. This paper addresses the variabili…

Colliding Winds in and around the Stellar Group IRS 13E at the Galactic Center

Q. Daniel Wang, Jun Li, Christopher M. P. Russell +1

IRS~13E is an enigmatic compact group of massive stars located in projection only 3.6 arcseconds away from Sgr A*. This group has been suggested to be bounded by an intermediate-ma…
