First spatially resolved Na I and He I transitions towards an MYSO. Finding new tracers for the gaseous star/disc interface
Evgenia Koumpia, M. Koutoulaki, W. -J. de Wit +4
With steady observational advances, the formation of massive stars is being understood in more detail. Numerical models are converging on a scenario where accretion discs play a ke…
Exploring dust growth in the episodic WCd system WR140
J. W. Eatson, J. M. Pittard, S. Van Loo
The wind collision region (WCR) in a colliding wind binary (CWB) is a particularly violent place, as such, it is surprising that it is also a region where significant quantities of…
An exploration of dust grain growth within WCd systems using an advected scalar dust model
J. W. Eatson, J. M. Pittard, S. Van Loo
Dust production is one of the more curious phenomena observed in massive binary systems with interacting winds. The high temperatures, UV photon flux and violent shocks should dest…
COBRaS: The e-MERLIN 21 cm Legacy survey of Cygnus OB2
J. C. Morford, D. M. Fenech, R. K. Prinja +12
The role of massive stars is central to an understanding of galactic ecology. It is important to establish the details of how massive stars provide radiative, chemical, and mechani…
Colliding Stellar Winds Structure and X-ray Emission
J. M. Pittard, B. Dawson
We investigate the structure and X-ray emission from the colliding stellar winds in massive star binaries. We find that the opening angle of the contact discontinuity (CD) is overe…
A changing wind collision
Yael Naze, Gloria Koenigsberger, Julian M. Pittard +4
We report on the first detection of a global change in the X-ray emitting properties of a wind-wind collision, thanks to XMM-Newton observations of the massive SMC system HD5980. W…
