Low - Mass Runaway Stars from the Orion Trapezium Cluster
In the course of a search for common proper motion binaries in the Jones & Walker (JW) catalogue of proper motions in the Orion Nebula Cluster, we came across several faint stars with proper motions larger than one arcsecond per century and probabilities of membership P larger than 0.90. Such stars are interesting because they could be low-mass runaway stars recently accelerated by n-body inter...
متن کاملCollisions Between Single Stars in Dense Clusters: Runaway Formation of a Massive Object
Using Monte Carlo codes, we follow the collisional evolution of clusters in a variety of scenarios. We consider the conditions under which a cluster of main sequence stars may undergo rapid core collapse due to mass segregation, thus entering a phase of runaway collisions, forming a very massive star (VMS, M∗ > 1000M⊙) through repeated collisions between single stars. Although collisional mass ...
متن کاملRunaway Stars, Hypervelocity Stars, and Radial Velocity Surveys
Runaway stars ejected from the Galactic disk populate the halo of the Milky Way. To predict the spatial and kinematic properties of runaways, we inject stars into a Galactic potential, compute their trajectories through the Galaxy, and derive simulated catalogs for comparison with observations. Runaways have a flattened spatial distribution, with higher velocity stars at Galactic latitudes less...
متن کاملr-Mode Runaway and Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars.
We present a simple spin-evolution model that predicts that rapidly rotating accreting neutron stars will be confined mainly to a narrow range of spin frequencies: P=1.5-5 ms. This is in agreement with current observations of neutron stars in both the low-mass X-ray binaries and the millisecond radio pulsars. The main ingredients in the model are (1) the instability of r-modes above a critical ...
متن کاملX - ray study of bow shocks in runaway stars ⋆
Massive runaway stars produce bow shocks through the interaction of their winds with the interstellar medium, with the prospect for particle acceleration by the shocks. These objects are consequently candidates for non-thermal emission. Our aim is to investigate the X-ray emission from these sources. We observed with XMM-Newton a sample of 5 bow shock runaways, which constitutes a significant i...
