Anti-Solar Differential Rotation May Have Revived Magnetic Braking in the Subgiant 31 Aquilae
Travis S. Metcalfe, Jennifer L. van Saders, Thomas R. Ayres +16
Recent observations have shown that sufficiently slow rotation disrupts the organization of large-scale magnetic field in older main-sequence stars, leading to weakened magnetic br…
Editorial: Mass and Angular Momentum Transport of Rapidly Rotating Hot Stars
P. A. Scowen, Carol E. Jones, René D. Oudmaijer +2
This dedicated journal collection will present and discuss a variety of science cases that can be used to extend our knowledge of massive stars and the influence of their rapid rot…
Exploring the binary origin of B and Be rapid rotators
Jonathan Labadie-Bartz, Mark Suffak, Carol Jones +8
Observational evidence has continued to mount that a significant fraction of rapidly rotating early-B type stars are products of binary mass transfer. However, very few mid- and la…
Predicted observational effects of rapid rotation for Be stars
Rina G. Rast, Carol E. Jones, Mark W. Suffak +6
We conduct a systematic study on the effects of rapid rotation on predicted Be star observables. We use the three-dimensional Monte Carlo radiative transfer code, \textsc{hdust}, t…
High energy emission powered by accreting companions of Be/gamma Cas stars
Rina G. Rast, Yael Naze, Jonathan Labadie-Bartz +6
The origin of the hard, bright X-ray emission that defines the gamma Cas analog class of Be stars remains an outstanding question in Be star literature. This work explores the poss…
Efficiency of viscous angular momentum transport in dissipating Be binaries
Peter Quigley, Carol E. Jones, Kenneth Gayley +9
Angular momentum transport is a fundamental process shaping the structure, evolution, and lifespans of stars and disks across a wide range of astrophysical systems. Be stars offer…
