Probing Colliding Wind Binaries with High-Resolution X-ray Spectra
D. B. Henley, I. R. Stevens, J. M. Pittard +2
X-ray line profiles represent a new way of studying the winds of massive stars. In particular, they enable us to probe in detail the wind-wind collision in colliding wind binaries,…
Multi-Wavelength Observations of Colliding Stellar Winds
M. F. Corcoran, J. M. Pittard, I. R. Stevens +2
Massive colliding wind binary stars serve as laboratories for the study of strong-shock physics. In these systems fundamental flow parameters (velocities, densities, directions) ar…
X-ray Luminous Radio Supernovae in the Center of M82?
Ian R. Stevens, David K. Strickland, Karen A. Wills
We investigate the X-ray emission from the central regions of the prototypical starburst galaxy M82. Previous observations had shown a bright central X-ray point source, with sugge…
ROSAT Observations of the Galactic Wind in M82
Dave Strickland, Trevor Ponman, Ian Stevens
We present {\em ROSAT} PSPC and HRI observations of the galactic wind from the starburst galaxy M82. \mbox{X-ray} emission from the wind is detected to a distance of $\sim6\kpc$ fr…
