Radio emission from Colliding-Wind Binaries: Observations and Models
S. M. Dougherty, J. M. Pittard, E. P. O'Connor
We have developed radiative transfer models of the radio emission from colliding-wind binaries (CWB) based on a hydrodynamical treatment of the wind-collision region (WCR). The arc…
Radio emission models of Colliding-Wind Binary Systems - Inclusion of IC cooling
J. M. Pittard, S. M. Dougherty, R. F. Coker +2
Radio emission models of colliding wind binaries (CWBs) have been discussed by Dougherty et al. (2003). We extend these models by considering the temporal and spatial evolution of…
Non-thermal X-ray and Gamma-ray Emission from the Colliding Wind Binary WR140
J. M. Pittard, S. M. Dougherty
WR140 is the archetype long-period colliding wind binary (CWB) system, and is well known for dramatic variations in its synchrotron emission during its 7.9-yr, highly eccentric orb…
The Colliding Winds of WR146: Seeing the Works
E. P. O'Connor, S. M. Dougherty, J. M. Pittard +1
WR146 is a WC6+O8 colliding-wind binary (CWB) system with thermal emission from the stellar winds of the two stars, and bright non-thermal emission from the wind-collision region (…
Dynamical and Pressure Structures in Winds with Multiple Embedded Evaporating Clumps I. 2D Numerical Simulations
J. M. Pittard, J. E. Dyson, S. A. E. G. Falle +1
Because of its key role in feedback in star formation and galaxy formation, we examine the nature of the interaction of a flow with discrete sources of mass injection. We show the…
The Shocking Properties of Supersonic Flows: Dependence of the Thermal Overstability on M, alpha, and T_c/T_0
J. M. Pittard, M. S. Dobson, R. H. Durisen +3
We investigate the Mach number dependence of the radiative overstability of shocks. We find that the stability of radiative shocks increases with decreasing Mach number, with the r…
