X-ray spectroscopy of stars

M Güdel, Y Nazé - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2009 - Springer
Non-degenerate stars of essentially all spectral classes are soft X-ray sources. Their X-ray
spectra have been important in constraining physical processes that heat plasma in stellar …

X-ray emission from interacting wind massive binaries: A review of 15 years of progress

G Rauw, Y Nazé - Advances in Space Research, 2016 - Elsevier
Previous generations of X-ray observatories revealed a group of massive binaries that were
relatively bright X-ray emitters. This was attributed to emission of shock-heated plasma in the …

Cosmic-ray energy spectrum and composition up to the ankle: the case for a second Galactic component

S Thoudam, JP Rachen, A Van Vliet… - Astronomy & …, 2016 - aanda.org
Motivated by the recent high-precision measurements of cosmic rays by several new-

Catalogue of particle-accelerating colliding-wind binaries

M De Becker, F Raucq - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2013 - aanda.org
Massive systems made of two or more stars are known to be the site for interesting physical
processes–including at least in some cases–particle acceleration. Over the past decade, this …

Radio, X-ray, and γ-ray emission models of the colliding-wind binary WR 140

JM Pittard, SM Dougherty - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2006 - academic.oup.com
We use hydrodynamical models of the wind-collision region in the archetype colliding-wind
system WR 140 to determine the spatial and spectral distributions of the radio, X-ray, and γ …

Probing clumpy stellar winds with a neutron star

R Walter, JZ Heras - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2007 - aanda.org
Context. INTEGRAL, the European Space Agency's γ-ray observatory, tripled the number of
super-giant high-mass X-ray binaries (sgHMXB) known in the Galaxy by revealing absorbed …

The young stellar population in M17 revealed by Chandra

PS Broos, ED Feigelson, LK Townsley… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We report here results from a Chandra ACIS observation of the stellar populations in and
around the M17 H II region. The field reveals 886 sources with observed X-ray luminosities …

3D models of radiatively driven colliding winds in massive O+ O star binaries–I. Hydrodynamics

JM Pittard - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2009 - academic.oup.com
The dynamics of the wind–wind collision in massive stellar binaries are investigated using
3D hydrodynamical models which incorporate gravity, the driving of the winds, the orbital …

High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of bright O-type stars

LM Oskinova, A Feldmeier… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2006 - academic.oup.com
Archival X-ray spectra of the four prominent single, non-magnetic O stars ζ Pup, ζ Ori, ξ Per
and ζ Oph, obtained in high resolution with Chandra HETGS/MEG have been studied. The …

A Chandra study of the Rosette star-forming complex. I. The stellar population and structure of the young open cluster NGC 2244

J Wang, LK Townsley, ED Feigelson… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the first high spatial resolution X-ray study of NGC 2244, the 2 Myr old stellar
cluster in the Rosette Nebula, using Chandra. Over 900 X-ray sources are detected; 77 …
