X-Ray Line Profiles from Parameterized Emission Within an Accelerating Stellar Wind
Motivated by recent detections by the XMM and Chandra satellites of X-ray line emission from hot, luminous stars, we present synthetic line profiles for X-rays emitted within parameterized models of a hot-star wind. The X-ray line emission is taken to occur at a sharply defined co-moving-frame resonance wavelength, which is Doppler-shifted by a stellar wind outflow parameterized by a ‘beta’ vel...
متن کاملX-RAY LINE EMISSION FROM THE HOT STELLAR WIND OF v ORIONIS C
We present a first emission-line analysis of a high-resolution X-ray spectrum of the stellar wind of v Ori C obtained with the High-Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The spectra are resolved into a large number of emission lines from Hand He-like O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, and Fe ions. The He-like Fe xxv and Li-like Fe xxiv appear quite strong, indicati...
متن کاملModeling X-ray emission from stellar coronae
By extrapolating from observationally derived surface magnetograms of low-mass stars we construct models of their coronal magnetic fields and compare the 3D field geometry with axial multipoles. AB Dor, which has a radiative core, has a very complex field, whereas V374 Peg, which is completely convective, has a simple dipolar field. We calculate global X-ray emission measures assuming that the ...
متن کاملX - ray emission from the stellar population in M 32
Using Chandra observations, we study the X-ray emission of the stellar population in the compact dwarf elliptical galaxy M32. The proximity of M32 allows one to resolve all bright point sources with luminosities higher than 8 × 10 33 erg s −1 in the 0.5–7 keV band. The remaining (unresolved) emission closely follows the galaxy's optical light and is characterized by an emissivity per unit stell...
متن کاملX-ray and Radio Emission from Colliding Stellar Winds
The collision of the hypersonic winds in early-type binaries produces shock heated gas, which radiates thermal X-ray emission, and relativistic electrons, which emit nonthermal radio emission. We review our current understanding of the emission in these spectral regions and discuss models which have been developed for the interpretation of this emission. Physical processes which affect the resu...
