Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry with Polstar: Massive Star Binary Colliding Winds
Nicole St-Louis, Kenneth Gayley, Desmond John Hillier +13
As sources of chemical enrichment, ionizing radiation and energetic feedback, massive stars drive the ecology of their host galaxies despite their relative rarity, additionally to…
Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry with Polstar: Clumping and Mass-loss Rate Corrections
Ken Gayley, Jorick S. Vink, Asif ud-Doula +13
The most massive stars are thought to lose a significant fraction of their mass in a steady wind during the main-sequence and blue supergiant phases. This in turn sets the stage fo…
Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry With Polstar: Hot Star Magnetospheres
M. E. Shultz, R. Casini, M. C. M. Cheung +17
Polstar is a proposed NASA MIDEX space telescope that will provide high-resolution, simultaneous full-Stokes spectropolarimetry in the far ultraviolet, together with low-resolution…
Detection of an extremely strong magnetic field in the double-degenerate binary merger product HD 144941
M. E. Shultz, O. Kochukhov, J. Labadie-Bartz +2
HD 144941 is an extreme He (EHe) star, a rare class of subdwarf OB star formed from the merger of two white dwarf (WD) stars. Uniquely amongst EHe stars, its light curve has been r…
TESS survey of rotational and pulsational variability of mercury-manganese stars
O. Kochukhov, V. Khalack, O. Kobzar +4
Mercury-manganese (HgMn) stars are late-B upper main sequence chemically peculiar stars distinguished by large overabundances of heavy elements, slow rotation, and frequent members…
Ultraviolet Line Profiles of Slowly Rotating Massive Star Winds Using the "Analytic Dynamical Magnetosphere" Formalism
C. Erba, A. David-Uraz, V. Petit +6
Recent large-scale spectropolarimetric surveys have established that a small but significant percentage of massive stars host stable, surface dipolar magnetic fields with strengths…
