Non-LTE Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer: II. Non-Isothermal Solutions for Viscous Keplerian Disks
A. C. Carciofi, J. E. Bjorkman
We discuss the basic hydrodynamics that determines the density structure of the disks around hot stars. Observational evidence supports the idea that these disks are Keplerian (rot…
On the Determination of the Rotational Oblateness of Achernar
A. C. Carciofi, A. Domiciano de Souza, A. M. Magalhaes +2
The recent interferometric study of Achernar, leading to the conclusion that its geometrical oblateness cannot be explained in the Roche approximation, has stirred substantial inte…
Spectropolarimetry of the Massive Post-Red Supergiants IRC +10420 and HD 179821
M. Patel, R. D. Oudmaijer, J. S. Vink +5
We present medium resolution spectropolarimetry and long term photo-polarimetry of two massive post-red supergiants, IRC +10420 and HD 179821. The data provide new information on t…
Discovery of a New Dusty B[e] Star in the Small Magellanic Cloud
John P. Wisniewski, Karen S. Bjorkman, Jon E. Bjorkman +1
We present new optical spectroscopic and archival Spitzer IRAC photometric observations of a B-type star in the SMC cluster NGC 346, NGC 346:KWBBe 200. We detect numerous Fe II, [O…
Modeling the Structure of Hot Star Disks: a Critical Evaluation of the Viscous Decretion Scenario
A. C. Carciofi, J. E. Bjorkman, A. S. Miroshnichenko +2
We present self-consistent solutions for the disk structure of classical Be stars. Our disk model is hydrostatically supported in the vertical direction and the radial structure is…
NLTE Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer: I. The Thermal Properties of Keplerian Disks around Classical Be Stars
A. C. Carciofi, J. E. Bjorkman
We present a 3-D NLTE Monte Carlo radiative transfer code that we use to study the temperature and ionization structure of Keplerian disks around Classical Be stars. The method we…
