  • X-Ray Emission from Wolf-Rayet Stars
    X-ray Emission from Wolf-Rayet Stars Steve Skinner1, Svet Zhekov2, Manuel Güdel3 Werner Schmutz4, Kimberly Sokal1 1CASA, Univ. of Colorado (USA) [email protected] 2Space Research Inst. (Bulgaria) and JILA/Univ. of Colorado (USA) 3ETH Zurich (Switzerland) 3PMOD (Switzerland) Abstract We present an overview of recent X-ray observations of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars with XMM-Newton and Chandra. Observations of several WC-type (carbon-rich) WR stars without known companions have yielded only non-detections, implying they are either very feeble X-ray emitters or perhaps even X-ray quiet. In contrast, several apparently single WN2-6 stars have been detected, but data are sparse for later WN7-9 stars. Putatively single WN stars such as WR 134 have X-ray luminosities and spectra that are strikingly similar to some known WN + OB binaries such as WR 147, suggesting a similar emission mechanism. 1 X-rays from WR Stars: Overview 3 Single Nitrogen-rich WN Stars 4 Wolf-Rayet Binaries WR stars are the evolutionary descendants of massive O • Sensitive X-ray observations have now been obtained • High-resolution X-ray grating spectra have been ob- stars and are losing mass at very high rates.

  • A 2.4-12 Microns Spectrophotometric Study with ISO of Cygnus X-3 in Quiescence
    1 Abstract. We present mid-infrared spectrophotometric results obtained with the ISO on the peculiar X-ray bi- nary Cygnus X-3 in quiescence, at orbital phases 0.83 to 1.04. The 2.4 - 12 µm continuum radiation observed with ISOPHOT-S can be explained by thermal free-free emis- sion in an expanding wind with, above 6.5 µm, a possi- ble additional black-body component with temperature T ∼ 250K and radius R ∼ 5000R⊙ at 10 kpc, likely due to thermal emission by circumstellar dust. The observed brightness and continuum spectrum closely match that of the Wolf-Rayet star WR 147, a WN8+B0.5 binary system, when rescaled at the same 10 kpc distance as Cygnus X- 3. A rough mass loss estimate assuming a WN wind gives −4 −1 ∼ 1.2 × 10 M⊙.yr . A line at ∼ 4.3 µm with a more than 4.3 σ detection level, and with a dereddened flux of 126 mJy, is interpreted as the expected He I 3p-3s line at 4.295 µm, a prominent line in the WR 147 spectrum. These results are consistent with a Wolf-Rayet-like com- panion to the compact object in Cyg X-3 of WN8 type, a later type than suggested by earlier works.

  • "MHD Simulations of Colliding Stellar Winds in Binary Systems"
    University of Innsbruck Institute for Astro- and Particle Physics MHD simulations of colliding stellar winds in binary systems Master’s Thesis in Astrophysics Anna Ogorzałek Submitted to the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Magister / Magistra der Naturwissenschaften Supervisor: Dr Ralf Kissmann Innsbruck, August 2014 ii Abstract: Massive binary systems are sources of non-thermal radiation and possibly even γ- rays. This high energy emission originates in the region between the two stars, where their pow- erful winds collide. This region possess extreme physical conditions that have been the subject of multiple studies including hydrodynamical and particle acceleration simulations. There is little known about the magnetic field at the collision region. It is an important factor, since it produces the non-thermal synchrotron emission, as well as influences the particle acceleration. In this work we use 3D magnetohydrodynamical simulations in order to study the magnetic field properties in the collision region, in particular its strength and the geometry (the angle between the field lines and the shock normal). We prescribe a dipolar magnetic field for both stars and perform a param- eter study of its strength and geometry. We conclude that for the studied range of dipol strengths (∼ 100G) no influence on the collision region is found, as it retains its shape and shocks compres- sion ratios. The magnetospheres do not cross the contact discontinuity, and the respective sides of the collision region depend only on the stellar fields. However, this means that prescribing a single field strength over the whole collision region might not be sensible.

  • After Two Years of Planning
    ® AFTER TWO YEARS OF PLANNING, The Steppingstone Foundation launched its newest initiative— the College Success Academy— in July, based in two Boston public K-8 schools, the Edison and the Jackson/Mann. While most of their classmates had put away their textbooks for the summer, the pilot class of 46 Scholars at the College Success Academy were rolling up their sleeves for six weeks of classes in math, English/ Language Arts, science, and VWXG\VNLOOVWRQDPHDIHZɻ Photo credit: Meg Birnbaum Photography (continued from front) The College Success Academy (CSA) shares many similarities with The Steppingstone Academy (TSA) beginning with the goal of setting Boston students on the path to college graduation. Both programs welcome students who are eager to work hard to achieve their college goals; there is an academic program that takes place after school and over multiple summers; and there are comprehensive academic, college guidance, and social/emotional support services through high school and college. What’s different? CSA is based in two Boston K-8 public schools, and in its first three years will only recruit Scholars from those schools. There will be no placement into independent or public exam schools; instead, the academic program will span five summers rather than two, with extra academic support Reggie Farina ’94 in ninth grade.

  • Prospects for Detecting Colliding Winds of Massive Stars with GLAST-LAT
    Massive Stars in Interacting Binaries ASP Conference Series, Vol. 367, 2007 N. St-Louis & A.F.J. Moffat Prospects for Detecting Colliding Winds of Massive Stars with GLAST-LAT A. Reimer & O. Reimer Institut f¨ur Theoretische Physik IV, Ruhr-Universit¨at Bochum, D-44780 Bochum, Germany Abstract. Colliding winds of massive binaries have been proposed as poten- tial sites of non-thermal high-energy photon production. They may account for counterparts of yet unidentified EGRET sources and will presumably be detected with the next generation satellite, pair-conversion telescope, GLAST-LAT, which will be launched in the near future. Here we investigate the properties of high- energy photon production in colliding winds of long-period WR+OB-systems. We found that in the dominating leptonic radiation process, anisotropy and Klein-Nishina effects will likely yield visible spectral and variability signatures in the gamma-ray domain for highly sensitive instruments like GLAST-LAT. In addition to adiabatic and radiative losses we also include particle propagation in our modelling for the first time. The calculations are applied to WR 140 and WR 147. We predict that both systems will be visible for GLAST-LAT, and perhaps also for modern imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes at some orbital phases, but hardly for INTEGRAL above 1 MeV. The motivation to consider colliding-wind binary (CWB) systems of massive stars as potential γ-ray emitters is mainly supported by two observational facts. Firstly, non-thermal radio emission has been observed from several massive star systems that has been interpreted as synchrotron radiation (Abbott et al.
