Line-driven ablation of circumstellar discs: IV. The role of disc ablation in massive star formation and its contribution to the stellar upper mass limit
N. D. Kee, R. Kuiper
Radiative feedback from luminous, massive stars during their formation is a key process in moderating accretion onto the stellar object. In the prior papers in this series, we show…
Line-driven ablation of circumstellar discs: III. Accounting for and analyzing the effects of continuum optical depth
Nathaniel Kee, Stan Owocki, Rolf Kuiper
In studying the formation of massive stars, it is essential to consider the strong radiative feedback on the stars' natal environments from their high luminosities ($10^4 \sim 10^6…
3D radiative transfer: Continuum and line scattering in non-spherical winds from OB stars
L. Hennicker, J. Puls, N. D. Kee +1
Context: State of the art quantitative spectroscopy of OB-stars compares synthetic spectra (calculated by means of 1D, spherically symmetric computer codes) with observations. Cert…
Disruption of circumstellar discs by large-scale stellar magnetic fields
Asif ud-Doula, Stanley Owocki, Nathaniel Kee
Spectropolarimetric surveys reveal that 8-10\% of OBA stars harbor large-scale magnetic fields, but thus far no such fields have been detected in any classical Be stars. Motivated…
