Molecular emission from GG Car's circumbinary disk
Michaela Kraus, Mary Oksala, Dieter Nickeler +5
The appearance of the B[e] phenomenon in evolved massive stars such as B[e] supergiants is still a mystery. While these stars are generally found to have disks that are cool and de…
The Magnetism in Massive Stars project: first HARPSpol discoveries
E. Alecian, R. Peralta, M. E. Oksala +2
In the framework of the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project, a HARPSpol Large Program at the 3.6m-ESO telescope has recently started to collect high-resolution spectropolari…
A Magnetic Confinement vs. Rotation Classification of Massive-Star Magnetospheres
V. Petit, S. P. Owocki, G. A. Wade +12
Building on results from the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project, this paper shows how a two-parameter classification of massive-star magnetospheres in terms of the magnetic…
The galactic unclassified B[e] star HD 50138 III. The short-term line profile variability of its photospheric lines
Marcelo Borges Fernandes, Michaela Kraus, Dieter H. Nickeler +4
HD 50138 presents the B[e] phenomenon, but its nature is not clear yet. This star is known to present spectral variations, which have been associated with outbursts and shell phase…
Discovery of a magnetic field in the early B-type star sigma Lupi
H. F. Henrichs, K. Kolenberg, B. Plaggenborg +7
Magnetic early B-type stars are rare. To identify them, we use the strongest indirect indicator of a magnetic field in B stars, which is periodic variability of UV stellar wind lin…
The sudden appearance of CO emission in LHA 115-S 65
M. E. Oksala, M. Kraus, M. L. Arias +4
Molecular emission has been detected in several Magellanic Cloud B[e] supergiants. In this Letter, we report on the detection of CO band head emission in the B[e] supergiant LHA 11…
