Thermal emission from bow shocks II: 3D magnetohydrodynamic models of Zeta Ophiuchi
S. Green, J. Mackey, P. Kavanagh +3
The nearby, massive, runaway star Zeta Ophiuchi has a large bow shock detected in optical and infrared, and, uniquely among runaway O stars, diffuse X-ray emission is detected from…
Thermal emission from bow shocks I: 2D Hydrodynamic Models of the Bubble Nebula
Samuel Green, Jonathan Mackey, Thomas J. Haworth +2
The Bubble Nebula (or NGC 7635) is a parsec-scale seemingly spherical wind-blown bubble around the relatively unevolved O star BD+602522. The small dynamical age of the neb…
Detecting stellar-wind bubbles through infrared arcs in HII regions
Jonathan Mackey, Thomas J. Haworth, Vasilii V. Gvaramadze +3
Mid-infrared arcs of dust emission are often seen near ionizing stars within HII regions. A possible explanations for these arcs is that they could show the outer edges of asymmetr…
Wind bubbles within H II regions around slowly moving stars
Jonathan Mackey, Vasilii V. Gvaramadze, Shazrene Mohamed +1
Interstellar bubbles around O stars are driven by a combination of the star's wind and ionizing radiation output. The wind contribution is uncertain because the boundary between th…
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…
