The changing optical and X-ray emission of the dormant Cas star HD 45314

G. Rauw, Y. Nazé, E. Bryssinck +25

Cas stars are Oe/Be stars that exhibit bright and hard X-ray emission. HD45314 belonged to this category, but lost its Cas characteristics as its circumstellar disc started…

Testing the theory of colliding winds: The periastron passage of 9 Sagittarii. II. Radio monitoring

R. Blomme, G. Rauw, D. Volpi +2

Colliding winds in massive-star binaries generate non-thermal radio emission and an increased X-ray emission. We study the radio emission of the non-thermal emitter 9 Sgr, which is…

Expanding stellar horizons with polarized light

J. Vandersnickt, R. Ochoa Armenta, V. Vanlaer +16

The polarization of light is a critically under-utilized, rich source of information in astronomy. For stars in particular, surface magnetism polarization that can be detected and…

New Frontiers in the Study of Magnetic Massive Stars with the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Alexandre David-Uraz, Véronique Petit, Coralie Neiner +10

High-mass stars are notable for several reasons: they are characterized by strong winds, which inject momentum and enriched material into their surroundings, and die spectacularly…

The birth of Be star disks I. From localized ejection to circularization

J. Labadie-Bartz, A. C. Carciofi, A. C. Rubio +35

Classical Be stars are well known to eject mass, but the details governing the initial distribution and evolution of this matter into a disk are poorly constrained by observations.…

X-raying the wind-wind collisions in HD 168112 and HD 167971

Gregor Rauw, Ronny Blomme, Yaël Nazé +1

The O-type long-period binary HD 168112 and triple HD 167971 star systems have been known for several decades for their non-thermal synchrotron radio emission. This emission arises…
