The origin of dispersion in the wind mass-loss rate--luminosity relation of massive O stars

Jiri Krticka, Iva Krtickova

Stellar winds of hot stars are accelerated by the radiative force that mainly comes from the line transitions of heavy elements. As a result, the wind mass-loss rate is expected to…

Numerical modelling of recombination-driven stellar winds

Bestin James, Jiří Krtička

Low-temperature stars have a significant population of neutral hydrogen increasing with height in their atmospheres. This suggests eventual recombination as we move away from their…

Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324

The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a future NASA flagship mission concept identified by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for large space missions. HWO sh…

New line-driven wind mass-loss rates for OB stars with metallicities down to

Jiri Krticka, Jiri Kubat, Iva Krtickova

We provide new line-driven wind models for OB stars with metallicities down to . The models were calculated with our global wind code METUJE, which solves the hydrod…

Unveiling stellar aurorae: Simulating auroral emission lines in hot stars induced by high-energy irradiation

Michal Kajan, Jiří Krtička, Jiří Kubát

Auroral emission lines result from the interaction between magnetic field and stellar wind, offering valuable insights into physical properties and processes occurring within magne…

The nature of medium-period variables on the extreme horizontal branch I. X-shooter study of variable stars in the globular cluster Cen

J. Krticka, I. Krtickova, C. Moni Bidin +6

A fraction of the extreme horizontal branch stars of globular clusters exhibit a periodic light variability that has been attributed to rotational modulation caused by surface spot…
