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…
