Models of the circumstellar medium of evolving, massive runaway stars moving through the Galactic plane
D. M. -A. Meyer, J. Mackey, N. Langer +4
At least 5 per cent of the massive stars are moving supersonically through the interstellar medium (ISM) and are expected to produce a stellar wind bow shock. We explore how the ma…
Interacting supernovae from photoionization-confined shells around red supergiant stars
Jonathan Mackey, Shazrene Mohamed, Vasilii V. Gvaramadze +5
Betelgeuse, a nearby red supergiant, is a runaway star with a powerful stellar wind that drives a bow shock into its surroundings. This picture has been challenged by the discovery…
Effects of stellar evolution and ionizing radiation on the environments of massive stars
Jonathan Mackey, Norbert Langer, Shazrene Mohamed +3
We discuss two important effects for the astrospheres of runaway stars: the propagation of ionizing photons far beyond the astropause, and the rapid evolution of massive stars (and…
The Circumstellar Medium of Massive Stars in Motion
Jonathan Mackey, Norbert Langer, Dominique M. -A. Meyer +4
The circumstellar medium around massive stars is strongly impacted by stellar winds, radiation, and explosions. We use numerical simulations of these interactions to constrain the…
