Chandra grating spectroscopy of embedded wind shock X-ray emission from O stars shows low plasma temperatures and significant wind absorption

David H. Cohen, Winter Parts, Graham M. Doskoch +4

We present a uniform analysis of six examples of embedded wind shock (EWS) O star X-ray sources observed at high resolution with the Chandra grating spectrometers. By modeling both…

A Magnetic Confinement vs. Rotation Classification of Massive-Star Magnetospheres

V. Petit, S. P. Owocki, G. A. Wade +12

Building on results from the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project, this paper shows how a two-parameter classification of massive-star magnetospheres in terms of the magnetic…

Discovery of a magnetic field in the rapidly-rotating O-type secondary of the colliding-wind binary HD 47129 (Plaskett's star)

J. H. Grunhut, G. A. Wade, M. Leutenegger +14

We report the detection of a strong, organized magnetic field in the secondary component of the massive O8III/I+O7.5V/III double-lined spectroscopic binary system HD 47129 (Plasket…

NGC 1624-2: A slowly rotating, X-ray luminous Of?cp star with an extraordinarily strong magnetic field

G. A. Wade, J. Maíz Apellániz, F. Martins +16

This paper presents a first observational investigation of the faint Of?cp star NGC 1624-2, yielding important new constraints on its spectral and physical characteristics, rotatio…

Solving the Puzzle of the Massive Star System Theta 2 Orionis A

V. Petit, M. Gagne, D. H. Cohen +5

The young O9.5 V spectroscopic binary Theta 2 Ori A shows moderately hard X-ray emission and relatively narrow X-ray lines, suggesting that it may be a Magnetically Confined Wind S…

Magnetometry of a sample of massive stars in Carina

Y. Naze, S. Bagnulo, V. Petit +4

X-ray surveys of the Carina nebula have revealed a few hard and luminous sources associated with early-type stars. Such unusual characteristics for the high-energy emission may be…
