The Physics of Wind-Fed Accretion
Christopher W. Mauche, Duane A. Liedahl, Shizuka Akiyama +1
We provide a brief review of the physical processes behind the radiative driving of the winds of OB stars and the Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton capture and accretion of a fraction of the s…
Hydrodynamic and Spectral Simulations of HMXB Winds
Christopher W. Mauche, Duane A. Liedahl, Shizuka Akiyama +1
We describe preliminary results of a global model of the radiatively-driven photoionized wind and accretion flow of the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1. The full model combines FLA…
The White Dwarf in AE Aqr Brakes Harder
Christopher W. Mauche
Taking advantage of the very precise de Jager et al. optical white dwarf orbit and spin ephemerides; ASCA, XMMN, and Chandra X-ray observations spread over 10 yrs; and a cumulative…
Accretion column structure of magnetic cataclysmic variables from X-ray spectroscopy
R. Hoogerwerf, N. S. Brickhouse, C. W. Mauche
Using Chandra HETG data we present light curves for individual spectral lines of Mg XI and Mg XII for EX Hydrae, an intermediate-polar type cataclysmic variable. The Mg XI light cu…
EUVE Observations of VW Hydri in Superoutburst
Christopher W. Mauche
EUVE observed the SU UMa-type dwarf nova VW Hydri in superoutburst for an interval of nearly 2 days in 1994 June and produced EUV light curves and the first EUV spectrum of this im…
Search for a Shock Wave around the Crab Nebula
C. W. Mauche, P. Gorenstein
We have searched the region surrounding the Crab Nebula for the existence of a shock wave with the imaging instruments of the Einstein Observatory. The search is complicated by the…
