The Aromatic Infrared Bands around the Wolf-Rayet Binary WR140 Revealed by JWST

Kotomi Taniguchi, Ryan M. Lau, Takashi Onaka +12

We have analyzed the aromatic infrared bands (AIBs) in the 6-11.2 m range around the Wolf-Rayet binary WR140 (d=1.64 kpc) obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Mid…

Carbon-rich dust injected into the interstellar medium by Galactic WC binaries survives for hundreds of years

Noel D. Richardson, Micaela Henson, Emma P. Lieb +23

Some carbon-rich Wolf-Rayet stars (WC stars) show an infrared excess from dust emission. Dust forms in the collision of the WC wind with a companion star's wind. As this dust is ca…

Dynamic Imprints of Colliding-wind Dust Formation from WR140

Emma P. Lieb, Ryan M. Lau, Jennifer L. Hoffman +24

Carbon-rich Wolf-Rayet binaries are a prominent source of carbonaceous dust that contribute to the dust budget of galaxies. The "textbook" example of an episodic dust producing WR…

A First Look with JWST Aperture Masking Interferometry (AMI): Resolving Circumstellar Dust around the Wolf-Rayet Binary WR 137 beyond the Rayleigh Limit

Ryan M. Lau, Matthew J. Hankins, Joel Sanchez-Bermudez +20

We present infrared aperture masking interferometry (AMI) observations of newly formed dust from the colliding winds of the massive binary system Wolf-Rayet (WR) 137 with JWST usin…

Carinae's Dusty Homunculus Nebula from Near-Infrared to Submillimeter Wavelengths: Mass, Composition, and Evidence for Fading Opacity

Patrick W. Morris, Theodore R. Gull, D. John Hillier +5

Infrared observations of the dusty, massive Homunculus Nebula around the luminous blue variable Carinae are crucial to characterize the mass-loss history and help constrain the…

3D hydrodynamical and radiative transfer modeling of Eta Carinae's colliding winds

Thomas I. Madura, Nicola Clementel, Theodore R. Gull +3

We present results of full 3D hydrodynamical and radiative transfer simulations of the colliding stellar winds in the massive binary system Eta Carinae. We accomplish this by apply…
