Stellar Winds in Interaction
WR140 (WC7pd + O5) is often considered to be the archetype of hot, luminous colliding-wind binaries, with strong cyclic high-energy and dust-formation events. The challenge is that this system is quite extreme, with a long period (nearly an integral 7.94 years) and high eccentricity (e = 0.88). Most of the action thus occurs during the relatively short several-month interval of close periastron...
متن کاملStellar Winds from Massive Stars
We review the various techniques through which wind properties of massive stars – O stars, AB supergiants, Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs), Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars and cool supergiants – are derived. The wind momentum-luminosity relation (e.g. Kudritzki et al. 1999) provides a method of predicting mass-loss rates of O stars and blue supergiants which is superior to previous parameterizations. Assu...
متن کاملNLTE models of line-driven stellar winds
New numerical models of line-driven stellar winds of late O stars are presented. Statistical equilibrium (NLTE) equations of the most abundant elements are solved. Properly obtained occupation numbers are used to calculate consistent radiative force and radiative heating terms. Wind density, velocity and temperature are calculated as a solution of model hydrodynamical equations. Contrary to oth...
متن کاملProbing Clumpy Stellar Winds in SFXTs
Quantitative constraints on the wind clumping of massive stars can be obtained from the study of the hard X-ray variability of SFXTs. In these systems, a large fraction of the hard Xray emission is emitted in the form of flares with typical duration of 3 ksec, frequency of 7 days and luminosity of 10 ergs/s. Such flares are most probably emitted by the interaction of a compact object orbiting a...
متن کاملAccretion of stellar winds onto Sgr A*
We report a 3-dimensional numerical study of the accretion of stellar winds onto Sgr A*, the super-massive black hole at the centre of our Galaxy. Compared with previous investigations, we allow the stars to be on realistic orbits, include the recently discovered slow wind sources, and allow for optically thin radiative cooling. We first show the strong influence of the stellar dynamics on the ...
