Magnetospheres of massive stars across the EM spectrum

V. Petit, S. P. Owocki, M. E. Oksala, the MiMeS Collaboration

摘要:

磁性大质量恒星-发现的频率越来越高-代表了O型和B型恒星风形成机制的一个新类别。这些恒星的辐射驱动风的磁通道,磁约束风冲击范例,导致形成冲击加热的磁层,它可以辐射X射线,修改紫外线共振线,并创建H α发射材料的磁盘。这些磁层的动力学特性从理论上被理解为磁风约束和旋转之间的相互作用。然而,磁层在整个光谱中的表现可能比最初预期的更加复杂和多样。另一方面,最近在模拟这些磁层方面的进展为更好地理解大质量星风提供了一把钥匙。我们将总结协调的观测,理论和建模工作从大质量恒星项目的磁性,解决关键的悬而未决的问题,磁层表现在整个频谱域。

英文摘要:

Magnetic massive stars -- which are being discovered with increasing frequency -- represent a new category of wind-shaping mechanism for O and B stars. Magnetic channeling of these stars' radiation-driven winds, the Magnetically Confined Wind Shock paradigm, leads to the formation of a shock-heated magnetosphere, which can radiate X-rays, modify UV resonance lines, and create disks of Halpha emitting material. The dynamical properties of these magnetospheres are well understood from a theoretical point of view as an interplay between the magnetic wind confinement and rotation. However, the manifestations of magnetospheres across the spectrum may be more complex and various than first anticipated. On the other hand, recent advances in modeling these magnetospheres provide a key to better understand massive star winds in general. We will summarize the coordinated observational, theoretical, and modeling efforts from the Magnetism in Massive Star Project, addressing key outstanding questions regarding magnetosphere manifestations across the spectral domain.
